Very early voting in our latest
FenwayNation Poll shows that a
total of 70% would trade for somebody to replace
Dustin Pedroia at 2B—if
The Muddy Chicken is out long-term. As the chart shows, while 30% want the Red Sox to "stand pat" (
Eduardo Nunez,
Brock Holt) at 2B, the vast majority want
some sort of trade. For example, fully 30% would favor a trade for old friend
Jed Lowrie, while another 21% would opt for a deal brining
DJ LeMahieu from Denver to Boston. Almost as many (18%) would favor getting
Scooter Gennett from the Reds to man 2B. So far in the polling, no readers have selected the option that would name some
other player (besides those listed) to be acquired. You can still vote in the poll
