After rumors percolated before the deadline that Lindor might be available at the right price, it seems likely the front office will face more questions on the matter this winter. The Red Sox are desperate for a shortstop. The Red Sox went all in at this year's deadline and made a massive move when they brought Adley Rutschman in to be their new starting catcher. While their deadline was a success for the most part, the Red Sox missed out one major item from their shopping list. If the Red Sox are fine with Arias, Caleb Durbin, and Curtis Mead rounding out their infield for 2027, a move need not be made at this point.
