The Boston Red Sox should be open for business with the trade deadline quickly approaching. How will they handle it?
Boston's rotation actually has been great this season but it isn't at full strength. The Red Sox currently are missing Garrett Whitlock and have been undermanned. Cooper Criswell has been great filling in for Whitlock, but the Red Sox should beThere will be plenty of options available if the Red Sox do end up buying and one who could make a lot of sense is New York Mets star hurler Luis Severino.
"Severino has been one of the most undervalued free-agent signings of the offseason when the Mets inked him to a one-year, $13 million deal," Bowden said. "He's delivered, going 5-2 with a 3.29 ERA over 15 starts. Execs believe that even though the Mets are in a Wild Card race, they will consider trading Severino because the thinking goes, they're focused more on building for the long-term than trying to win now.
Boston has plenty of familiarity with Severino as he spent the first eight years of his career with the rival New York Yankees. He was one of the top pitchers in the American League but injuries slowed him down over the last few years. He's healthy now with the Mets and looks like himself again. The Red Sox showed interest in Severino in free agency but were unable to get a deal done. A trade at the deadline could help the Red Sox down the stretch while also serving as an opportunity to sell Boston to Severino as he will be a free agent at the end of the season again.Patrick McAvoy's experiences include local and national sports coverage at the New England Sports Network with a focus on baseball and basketball.
