We haven't seen the final form of the Boston Red Sox this season. A miracle turnaround has been all the more miraculous because it's happened without those two, and now the 64-52 Red Sox look October-bound. This is what our dream lineup and 26-man roster would look like if the Red Sox were to begin the playoffs on Sunday. Getting Anthony, Rutschman, and Mead all back healthy might not be an above-50% proposition, but it's also realistic enough to start dreaming.
