The Red Sox should be ashamed of themselves if they trade Xander. The Red Sox should absolutely NEVER get rid of top talent for financial reasons. The Mookie Betts trade was a joke, and a Xander trade would be too. Have some dignity, Boston.2. Will the Red Sox trade away their impending free agents, including Xander Bogaerts?
There are voices in the organization who really, really hope that the team's ownership is willing to admit the spring offer to Bogaerts of a one-year extension was a serious mistake and pay the homegrown shortstop. But Boston's history is that John Henry, Tom Werner, et al., will be ready to trade -- as they did with Andrew Miller, Jon Lesterand, most tellingly, Mookie Betts.
There is time for the Red Sox to rebound from their slow start; the 2019 Nationals evolved from a May disaster into World Series champions. But as of Monday morning, Boston was on pace to lose 100 games, and if the Red Sox don't recover, they could be a rich source of veterans for contenders. Bogaerts, Kiké Hernandez, Nathan Eovaldi, Rich Hilland catchers Christian Vazquez and Kevin Plaweckiare all free agents in the fall.
