The Boston Red Sox are just days away from making a tough decision, it seems. Boston recently brought up No. 1 prospect Roman Anthony because Wilyer Abreu was placed on the Injured List. It sounds like he won’t need much more time before he can get back on the field.

BOSTON — When the Red Sox were putting their team together last offseason, filling important holes in the roster and spending as they hadn’t in years, at no point did they say: “With a little luck, maybe we can be a .500 team.”

The World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers have turned into a .500 team recently, but a trade with the Red Sox could solidify one big aspect of their game.

Chapman pitched the final two games in New York over the weekend, saving both games, then went for a third straight day in the 10th inning of Monday’s loss to the Rays. He didn’t pitch Tuesday (Weissert got the save in that one) but closed out Wednesday’s win, then threw 14 pitches Friday. That was likely his limit entering Saturday.
