It sounds like the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers could discuss a possible major trade this summer.
The Boston Red Sox may end up adding around the trade deadline but that doesn't mean there won't be any subtractions.
Boston currently is in third place in the American League East with a 27-27 record but there is reason for hope with the club. The Red Sox will be getting some important reinforcements back soon and could compete for a postseason spot. While this is the case, Boston could trade away star closer Kenley Jansen. He has been solid so far this season for the Red Sox but already has been. It's uncertain exactly what will happen, but the Los Angeles Dodgers were floated as an option for the four-time All-Star,
"The Dodgers' bullpen issues should ease as their four injured right-handers -- Evan Phillips, Ryan Brasier, Brusdar Graterol, and Joe Kelly -- return to health," Rosenthal said. "Even then, they probably could use one more shutdown type to pair with Phillips in the late innings, someone perhaps, like their old friend, Red Sox closer Kenley Jansen."for Boston this summer as three-time All-Star Liam Hendriks nears a return to the mound.
Los Angeles has been mentioned as an option for the Dodgers before and it wouldn't be surprising to see speculation pick up closer to the deadline this summer.Patrick McAvoy's experiences include local and national sports coverage at the New England Sports Network with a focus on baseball and basketball.
