It sounds like the Boston Red Sox could make major changes this summer if they don't start moving up the standings.
Boston currently sits in third place in the American League East with a 33-33 record. The Red Sox actually have overperformed this season when you take into account the high number of injuries the club has dealt with. The Red Sox are just 1 1/2 games out of an American League Wild Card spot and certainly could compete for a spot late into the summer.
While this is the case, Boston was in a similar spot last season but struggled when the summer rolled around and fell out of contention. If this happens to the Red Sox, they could sell around the deadline. "With what will be a pro-rated salary of around $2.5M on deadline day, the price is certainly right to make Pivetta a trade target for the litany of teams that can't afford a Blake Snell or a Justin Verlander," Miller said. "And he's enjoying a better season than usual, currently sitting on a 3.40 ERA after going seven shutout innings against Atlanta in his last appearance.
Pivetta had a short stint on the Injured List this season but when he has been healthy, he has been everything the Red Sox could've hoped for. The righty has developed into a fan-favorite in Boston and it would be disappointing to see him go. Hopefully, the Red Sox are able to get healthy and move up the standings rather than selling at the deadline.Patrick McAvoy's experiences include local and national sports coverage at the New England Sports Network with a focus on baseball and basketball.
