Grading the the Red Sox 2013 Trade Deadline

SP Jake Peavy acquired at the deadline

So as we covered before, we thought the Red Sox should be both Buyers and Sellers at the 2013 Trade Deadline. Well a lot has changed since that original blog as the Sox found themselves pulling away from the pack with the Rays for the Division lead. If you had asked me weeks ago like I had said in previous blogs I would have said, BUY, but not at the expense of their "B" prospects and by "B" prospects I mean, Bogaerts, Bradley Jr., and Barnes. Those three guys (And a few others) are the future of this organization, and to deal them for ANYONE less than a Giancarlo Stanton or a Jeff Simardzija would be organizational suicide in my opinion. With that being said, given the moves the Sox made at the deadline, and given the overall quietude of the deadline, I give them a solid B+ for the moves they made.
