The Boston Red Sox haven’t fully convinced Major League Baseball insiders of their trade deadline situation this season. While they are 7.5 games back in the American League East divisional race, they are in the Wild Card race and could play themselves into the second spot.
The fact that they could end up playing postseason baseball raises questions regarding their closer. Will Kenley Jansen be in Boston for the duration of the season or will he be traded?
Bob Nightengale of USA Today thinks it’s a possibility that he is traded and it could be to the Dodgers or another AL East team.
