Five ways to improve the Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox are absolutely rolling. After a 10-19 start that had many questioning whether the team would sell off pieces at the trade deadline, the team has gone 8-3 in the last 11 games to climb near the .500 mark. The offense has exploded, with Trevor Story joining the Big 3 to form a fearsome middle of the order, and the bullpen has held the leads the bats have given them.

Even with the hot streak, however, there is still a lot of work to be done. The offense and pitching staff are both middle of the pack, and the starting rotation has been up-and-down at best. The Sox remain 11.5 games back of the first-place Yankees and 4 games back of the Rays.

It’s obvious while watching the Red Sox that while the team is extremely talented, they are not maximizing the roster’s full capabilities. Here are five improvements the Red Sox could make right now to keep the good times rolling.
