The Boston Red Sox are in need of help at the trade deadline and could execute a very unusual trade to improve their club.
Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow is approaching a point in time where he'll be tasked with exhausting all options in order to improve the club in the present without hampering the future of the organization.
Despite this, rumors surrounding their cluster of impending free agents continue to swirl as potential fits for other teams. The Athletic's Jim BowdenRed Sox closer Kenley Jansen came in at No. 3 for the reliever group -- where Bowden suggested a unique move that could result in the four-time All-Star heading elsewhere.
The Red Sox using Jansen as trade bait to go out and acquire other areas of need -- most notably some back-end starting pitching -- would be an interesting approach to filling some needs on the roster while keeping the farm system intact. With that said, removing a closer with just one blown save on the season in an effort to improve the club would be far from wise.
