Trade for Prospects: Ortiz, Napoli, Sandoval (eat a bit of the contract), Victorino, Breslow (or DFA him) Shop Actively: Uehara, Tazawa, Layne, Buchholz Ortiz cannot be traded without his consent (10/5 guy). Trading Napoli, Victorino and/or Breslow doesn't save any money off next year's budget, since they are all free agents. Good luck trading Sandoval, which would squarely point the finger at management for screwing up, so I don't see it happening. Why would you trade Layne? He's cost-controlled for another four years. Taz and Buch are possibilities closer to the deadline, and I would look to trade Koji once the Red Sox are out of it, if a market develops for him.

If the season ended right now:
1. PHI ---- 2. MIL -1.0 3. OAK -2.5 4. MIA -3.0 5. BOS -5.0 6. SEA -5.5 7. ARI -6.0 8. COL -6.0 9. CIN -6.0 10. CLE -7.0 11. CHW -7.5 12. ATL -7.5 13. BAL -8.0
(tiebreaker order of the above teams is ARI, COL, BOS, CHW, PHI, CIN, MIA, ATL, MIL, CLE, SEA, OAK, BAL)
The Red Sox are 4th in negative run differential (behind PHI, MIL and CWS). OAK has the 3rd worst record but have a +10 run differential.

This is a really great year to be a seller. How many teams are really out of the playoff picture in the AL right now? I count Oakland, and even they have a positive run differential so they're probably on the verge of ripping off a 12-2 streak and getting back into it. So really we have zero teams in the AL right now who have no realistic shot at the playoffs. This creates an opportunity to corner the market and be the sole seller between now and the deadline. No chance this happens. MIL and PHI are already selling, and I'd expect OAK to move in that direction soon. This ownership is not punting the year in mid-June.
