You could make the case that former Red Sox infielder
Travis Shaw would have made an ideal signing for 2020—with his ability to play first base (and other infield positions) at a cheap price. But, instead, Shaw (who
did have a really bad down year in 2019),
signed with the Blue Jays for a paltry $4 million. Reportedly, the Red Sox passed because they wanted to first "move salary" before making him an offer. Shaw, you'll recall, was involved in one of the worst Boston trades of the last 20 years—going to the Brew Crew for the forgettable
Tyler Thornburg. Shaw has hit 70 HRs since leaving
The Carmine Hose. Maybe
Michael Chavis can play first
and second—kind of a "King And His Court" deal. Yikes!
