The Red Sox and Nationals honestly feel like perfect trade partners. Nationals have one of the best young offenses in baseball and are coming out of a rebuild but still desperately need high-end young pitching. Red Sox have a ridiculous amount of young pitching depth and badly need another impact bat. Boston potential pieces: - Connelly Early - Bryan Bello - Kyson Witherspoon - Juan Valera - Jake Bennett Nationals potential pieces: - James Wood - CJ Abrams - Luis García Jr.

@TolleEnthusiast Really hope the Abrams mention is just for engagements. The last thing we need is the worst SS in MLB with a -6 DRS and -7 OOA.

@LuigiScal @TolleEnthusiast Play Abrams at second and move Mayer to short

@SoxRandom @TolleEnthusiast In his entire 7 year pro career he's played only 139 innings at 2B.

@LuigiScal @TolleEnthusiast Significantly easier to play than short. Wouldn’t hurt to teach him and see if it works out.

@SoxRandom @TolleEnthusiast Typically poor shortstops get moved to 3B, not 2B. Bichette is a recent example. Sure Abram's offense is appealing right now, but I wouldn't make a move before the deadline. He was too consistently average the past couple seasons.
