Red Sox Analyst Notes Major Potential Trade Piece

The Boston Red Sox are a franchise that is rich with winning and success.

So seeing them not in contention for a few years in a row is odd.

From the outside, it looks like the Red Sox do not know which direction they want to go.

Earlier in the offseason, they traded away outfielder Alex Verdugo.

Plus, they have not made any significant additions that will help their team next year.

Each of the last two seasons the Red Sox have won 78 games.

What they choose to do the rest of this offseason could have a lasting effect on them for the next decade.

Baseball is better when the Red Sox are good.

But, they have some work to do to put themselves back into that category.
