Red Sox: Three prospects that can thrive with an MLB promotion in 2020
The Red Sox and the 2020 Season
I’m going to be incredibly blunt with you, my friends, I have no idea what this season will look like. It doesn’t look like we’re going to get any positive news anytime soon, so we’re stuck in limbo. I mentioned above that we could see two approaches to a shortened 2020. Some teams will go head-on and attack it in a sprint while others may take a lap and come back for 2021.

I doubt the Red Sox will want to take a wash on a chance at winning another World Series crown, but they may experiment a little more than expected. Chaim Bloom is known for his ability to grow and develop a strong farm system, this could be his big chance. He can promote some of the top prospects on the list, especially if the rosters are expanded, and let them get a taste of the big leagues.
If things go poorly and Boston is at the bottom of the barrel super quick then this very well may be the time that the youth gets injected into the lineup. Ron Roenicke recently spoke about his frustrations and his optimism for 2020. Red Sox president and CEO Sam Kennedy also chimed in with his thoughts. Both expect an agreement and the MLB to be back on our screens this summer.

I want to hold onto that optimism as well, but it’s getting more difficult with each passing day. For Boston’s sake, they need this season possibly more than any other team considering the moves they made this offseason. If baseball gets canceled for 2020, they’re pretty much back to square one with finding ways to save money. Adding in some inexpensive young talent to a possible wild trade market just might be what the doctor ordered for the ailing Red Sox.
