Suddenly, Boston is over the .500 mark and sit in the third Wild Card position in the American League. That would be good enough to make the playoffs, if they were to start today.
Per The Baseball Insiders podcast, Boston is considered a buyer by many around the league. Expect the front office to execute that approach come Aug. 2, assuming they remain in a similar spot in the standings.
There you have it. The Red Sox don’t have to trade their entire farm system to improve. Rather, they can make a playoff run with a roster constructed on the cheap by Chaim Bloom himself.
