Once again, the Red Sox may be running an off-season strategy that's a
little counter-intuitive. The last thing you'd think this team needs is another outfielder. However, Joel Sherman of
The New York Post writes that
the team is interested in free-agent OF Alex Gordon of the World Series-participant Kansas City Royals. The 31-year old Gordon is one of the best defenders in baseball—but Boston seems to be overloaded with OF options. The suggested scenario is that—instead of shelling out big bucks for a
free agent starting pitcher—
Dave Dombrowski will
trade some of the outfield excess for a young starter (like
Sonny Gray or
Matt Harvey). Mentioned are players like
Jackie Bradley, Jr. or even
Rusney Castillo—along with some minor league talent. Once again, stay tuned!
