| Imminent XanderMania At Fenway? |
In the wake of the trade for
Jake Peavy,
Red Sox GM Ben Cherignton met with the media. An important nugget to come out of that session is that Boston has no plans to add infield help from outside the organization. Said Cherignton:
"Nothing planned. Nothing imminent. I think as we said before we really feel like there are enough infielders here in the organization between Boston and Pawtucket that we can get good production from the left side of our infield." So, look for
Will Middlebrooks to be back at third base very soon, with
Xander Bogaerts backing up both Middlebrooks and
Stephen Drew (much the same way Iglesias performed those duties). Figure on
Brock Holt or
Brandon Snyder to be the odd man out in the new configuration.
