Could the Boston Red Sox make an impactful addition to their playoff push by promoting from within instead of dealing prospects for rentals at the upcoming July 30 trade deadline?
Red Sox prospect Chase Meidroth has put together a very strong 2024 campaign and could become a much more impactful depth piece than the other position players who have occupied the last spot on the roster -- including first basemen Bobby Dalbec and utility man Jamie Westbrook, both of whom currently reside in Triple-A Worcester but appear to be in line for that next-man up spot.
The 22-year-old, who was a fourth-round pick by Boston in the 2022 Major League Baseball Draft, has logged 29 appearances at shortstop, 21 at third base and 16 at second base this season. Most project him as a second or third baseman at the highest level but the ability to at the very least spot start at shortstop could provide value to manager Alex Cora's roster.
