While they could go out and sign someone with the money they saved by trading Rafael Devers, their superfluous amount of stud outfielders could lead to a trade as well.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE:\u00a0Red Sox superstar Alex Bregman opts out of contract, will test free agency<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>MLB analyst Nick Diamond linked the Sox to a potential trade partner, in an NL Central playoff team: the Cincinnati Reds. While he believes they could get pitching from the Reds, the Sox may be more interested in a hitter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve seen a lot of people mention the Cincinnati Reds as a potential trade partner for either Jarren Duran or Wilyer Abreu because of their abundance of pitching depth. That\u2019s true, but the Reds also have a right-handed bat who might interest the Red Sox in Noelvi Marte. At the deadline, the Reds acquired Ke\u2019Bryan Hayes to take over third base, while they already have De La Cruz, McLain, and Encarnacion-Strand\/Steer for the infield. The Reds could be a blockbuster opportunity, especially if the Sox decide to move on from Alex Bregman,\u201d Diamond posted.<\/p>\n<p>Either pitching or hitting, the Sox and Reds could make a deal. The Sox could acquire a pitcher like Andrew Abbott or opt for Marte, and then shift him to first base if Bregman re-signs.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE:\u00a0Blue Jays predicted to bolster rotation by pursuing $22.5 million Cy Young to replace Kevin Gausman as ace<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, the Red Sox will find a partner, whether it be the Reds or someone else, and finally acquire the last pieces they need to complete the puzzle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE\u00a0\u00a0NEWS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Padres linked to four-time World Series champion, former San Diego manager as a top replacement for Mike Shildt<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dodgers predicted to be top landing spot for $5 million two-time Gold Glove, would replace Michael Conforto<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Yankees predicted to trade for $12 million All-Star, Silver Slugger to replace Paul Goldschmidt<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These two teams might be able to make something work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":108154,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[238,1858,2573,47,284,1499,3069,4160,4162,703,2947,4161,198],"class_list":["post-108153","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-alex-bregman","tag-andrew-abbott","tag-blue-jays","tag-boston-red-sox","tag-cincinnati-reds","tag-jarren-duran","tag-kevin-gausman","tag-nick-diamond","tag-noelvi-marte","tag-rafael-devers","tag-sox","tag-trade-partner","tag-wilyer-abreu"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
