For the majority of the 2021 season, the Red Sox have been without Chris Sale. In August, however, that has not been the case as Sale was activated from the injured list three weeks ago.
Over the last few weeks, the Boston Red Sox farm system has reached new heights. The Red Sox currently have the ninth-best system in baseball and added more talent in the 2021 MLB Draft. One player who has gotten off to a hot start is TCU product, Phillip Sikes.
Over the last few weeks, the Boston Red Sox have been one of the worst teams in baseball. While Boston has gone 7-10 in August, one bright spot has been Kyle Schwarber.
The Pittsburgh Pirates were busy adding to their prospect pool at this year’s trade deadline. With the departure of veterans such as Adam Frazier and Richard Rodriguez, that process has been further emphasized.
For the majority of the 2021 season, Bobby Dalbec has struggled. As the calendar has flipped to August, Dalbec is hitting over .400 and has been an RBI machine. As Boston looks to secure a playoff spot, they will need Dalbec’s bat.
In 2018, the Colorado Rockies selected Shelby Lackey in the 18th round of the MLB draft. Since then he has seen his stock rise in three minor league seasons. Although Lackey was the 546th overall pick, he was one of the Rockies’ top 30 prospects at the beginning of the 2021 campaign.
When the Red Sox signed Kevin Plawecki before the 2020 season, he was not known for his offense. Over the past two years, however, that has not been the case. Through 63 games with Boston, he has been an on-base machine. While the Red Sox have struggled of late, Plawecki has been a bright spot. As the 2021 season winds down, the Red Sox will need the Purdue product to continue his current production.
In the third round of the 2020 MLB draft, the Red Sox selected Blaze Jordan. The Mississippi native was one of the youngest players in the draft but brought elite power. In his first full professional season, he has lived up to expectations. The eighteen-year-old appeared in 19 games in the FGL and was an on-base machine. Earlier this week, Jordan was promoted to Low-A-Salem. With his new team, Jordan will be looking to continue his scorching hot start.
