Franklin Arias has been a key prospect for the Red Sox, and it might take a lot for them to actually trade him. The Boston Red Sox have found a rhythm over the past few weeks, and it's led to them putting a different perspective on the trade deadline. There's only one way they would trade Arias, and it's for a specific player on the Washington Nationals, according to The Athletic. “One rival executive, who spoke on condition of anonymity to be candid, said he believes the Red Sox might only trade Arias for the Washington Nationals’ CJ Abrams. With still some time left until the deadline closes, there is a chance that anything could happen, and the Red Sox could very well look different.
