David Bednar would be a great option for the closer role. The Pirates would surely want Mata or Houck coming back. I wonder if a package of Gonzalez, Walter/Murphy, Duran, Kavadas/Dalbec, Paulino would do it instead.

Bednar and or Reynolds are going to be costly Houck and Lugo/Paulino. Trade Sim says it favors the Pirates. Red Sox positioning of Houck as a starter for next season signals they may be pumping his value to precipitate a trade.

Red Sox positioning of Houck as a starter for next season signals they may be pumping his value to precipitate a trade. Eh, I still think the Pirates asking price is going to be excessive. Not to mention, the track record of relievers that come over from the Pirates is not good (e.g. Joel Hanrahan, Scott Sauerbeck)

According to Chad Jennings at the Athletic, the Red Sox are in on Bednar.
Houck, Lugo/Paulino, lottery pick.

Oops, Barlow (KC) not Bednar. Well that would probably be good too and likely cost less.

Barlow would be a great get, but trading for relievers has been a curse for the Red Sox ever since well maybe Eric Gange. Every reliever they've traded for has blown up in their face outside of paying triple the cost it should have to get Kimbrel.

How about an expended deal for Bednar that includes Reynolds ? Mayer or Cassas, Rafaela, Houk and Murphy. That may not even be enough as the Sox would have 3 and 4 cost controlled years on Reynolds and Bednar. But for two proven performers at positions of real need now I would go big on the offer. Especially with having Bleis and Romero in the pipeline.

Especially with having Bleis and Romero in the pipeline. Mayer, Houck, and Rafaela is a slight overpay for Bednar and Reynolds according to BTV. I'm not convinced Reynolds would be worth the price going forward. This trade would be predicated on signing Correa (or Turner) to a market rate contract.

I really want to see an established OF addition this winter. Reynolds or Nimmo as a FA do that with the added benefit of a leadoff hitter.

Swanson could stay at the position for a while, but the bat is not great. Xander only plays SS for 2 or 3 years, then it's a problem again. Maybe Rafaela could take over(unless he's traded)? None of our other SS prospects look to be ready to replace Xander when he'll be ready to move off SS. Xander is an excellent fit if we have Mayer in the pipeline. Without Mayer, Xander eventully becomes problematic.
