The Red Sox continue to explore their options on both the rotation and bullpen markets, but theyre also looking around for a right- Kostas Antetokounmpo Jersey handed-hitting infielder who can factor into the mix at second base, . Infielder s minor league rehab window is up on Aug. 9, but McCaffrey suggests that Gri som could be optioned to Triple-A Worcester rather than plugged into the big league roster. Meanwhile, Sox skipper said after the acquisition of catcher that fellow backstop could see additional time at second base; Wong hasnt played a ton of second base recently but does have 227 innings there in his career. The trade market isnt exactly deep in right-handed-hitting infielders but there are neverthele s a handful of options who could fit the bill. Switch-hitting Angels infielder (who has torched lefties at a .373/.418/.529 rate) has reportedly already. Theyve presumably at least held internal discu sions on other options, including Colorados , Detroits , Oaklands (a switch-hitter) and Chicagos . The Reds has seen his name in trade rumors for the better part of a year, but Cincinnati has been reluctant to deal him. Within the Sox own division are and , but Boston may be wary of sending any talent of note to a direct rival. The mere fact that Cora suggested playing Wong at second base and declined to confirm that Gri som would be plugged right back into Bostons second base slot speak to the fact that an addition is po sible. Second base has been a black hole for the BoSox this season, as theyve seen Gri som, Wong, , , , , , and combine to hit .192/.249/.293 at the position. The resulting 47 wRC+ is dead-last in the majors and suggests that Boston second basemen have been 53% worse than average with the bat. The Red Sox actually depleted some of their middle infield depth yesterday when they traded (notably, a right-handed hitter) to the Pirates that netted them right-hander . That suggests that pitching is considered the more dire need, but it still shouldnt come as a surprise if the Sox work multiple angles today and come away with another arm (or two) and a more established big league infielder than Gri som or the now-traded Yorke. Boston was already known to be on the lookout for a right-handed bat that much was reported last week but at the time, it seemed a first base addition could also be po sible. However, the Sox are now slated to send injured first baseman on a rehab a signment later today, per Chris Cotillo of Ma sLive.com ( ). That makes second base a far more likely spot to augment the lineup with a right-handed bat. Ivica Zubac Jersey
