Boston Red Sox rumors: Top prospects on the trading block

The Boston Red Sox are World Series champions, but that shouldn’t stop Dave Dombrowski from making moves to improve the team.

WEEI’s John Tomase recently speculated about the Boston Red Sox trading for Arizona Diamondbacks all-star first baseman Paul Goldschmidt. If the Sox did “think big” as suggested, what might a potential trade look like?

In light of the Red Sox no-brainer resigning World Series MVP Steve Pearce, a trade for Paul Goldschmidt is now more a flight of fancy than a bold prediction.

Still, if Dave Dombrowski wanted to make any big trades this offseason, does the Red Sox farm system have enough quality prospects to tempt other teams?

The short answer is, yes.

The longer answer involves speculating on a few of the players Dombrowski might’ve offered in a theoretical Goldschmidt deal.

Here is a list of top prospects in the Boston Red Sox organization who could be used in potential future deals.
