Heading into the offseason, we thought the Red Sox could be ripe for a lot of trade talks given both Chaim Bloom’s experience in Tampa, who have long been one of the more prolific organizations in terms of trades, as well as how much turnover was going to be needed for Boston. To this point that hasn’t been the case, though the same can largely be said about the whole league, not just the Red Sox. Over the weekend, however, we got some news that could change this reality relatively soon. It’s not a guarantee and it doesn’t appear anything is super close at this point, but according to a report from Jim Bowden the Red Sox have had “serious” talks involving a trade of Andrew Benintendi.
