The latest scuttlebutt to come out of the Winter Meetings is that
John Henry has given his marching orders:
trade for a big bat—don't spend my money in free agency. So, look for
some kind of trade for either
José Abreu (White Sox, 1B) or
Marcell Ozuna (Marlins, OF) to bring
some kind of offensive clout to the anemic Red Sox line-up. Of course, trades will
further deplete the Boston farm system—already ravaged by
Dave Dombrowski. Ozuna—who will make just under $11 million next year, is a true "under-the-radar" star— hitting .312 last year with 37 HRs and 124 RBIs.
Derek Jeter has let it be known that—having dumped
Giancarlo Stanton's salary—he wants to shed Ozuna's as well. Stay tuned.
