"Ranger Suárez is officially a member of the Red Sox. We found this out unofficially last week. Which started raising questions: what about the 40-man roster? Had the team flipped an outfielder or pitcher, possibly with prospects, they would have plenty of room to sign one of the remaining free agents and add that unnamed infielder. Since they did the free agent signing "first" (if there is a trade for an infielder) it meant that the Red Sox needed to open a roster spot."
"Not that Tristan Gray's 47 career MLB games makes him a veteran, but Baez has played 51 games a Double A. Transforming the roster spot into a starting pitcher and a catching prospect is nice and all, but what about that infielder? Chris Cotillo reports that: "This is not a surprise or particularly revelatory, but have heard the Red Sox are, in fact, involved in serious trade talks all over the place when it comes to adding to the positional player group.""
Ranger Suárez joined the Red Sox, prompting roster questions and necessitating a 40-man spot opening. The club traded a 40-man player for a prospect to create room after completing a free-agent signing. The organization is engaged in serious trade talks to add positional players, including potential infield targets or free agents. Several players are considered off-limits, such as Garrett Crochet, Tanner Houck, Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer, Aroldis Chapman, Trevor Story, Willson Contreras, Sonny Gray, and Carlos Narvaez. Other roster pieces like Triston Casas, Connor Wong, and Masataka Yoshida present complicated trade economics or limited upside in deals.
