The Boston Red Sox have shown that they are willing to make significant changes at any point when the front office feels they are called for.
Well before the trade deadline last year, the team sent franchise slugger Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants in a shocking move. And more recently, the team fired long-time manager Alex Cora and replaced him with Chad Tracy in hopes of turning their season around.
And the Red Sox are evidently willing to explore some under-the-radar additions to the lower levels of the organization as well.
