Red Sox Eye Langeliers at Trade Deadline | Oakland Athletics News

Boston Red Sox are rumored to be targeting elite catcher Shea Langeliers of the Oakland A’s ahead of the August 3 trade deadline. Langeliers, a two-time top-tier catcher by WAR, is crushing it offensively with 22 homers and 50 RBIs this season while also showcasing a strong arm behind the plate. With the A’s struggling and looking to rebuild with pitching, a trade seems likely — and Boston would be wise to pounce. They’d get a premier offensive catcher with defensive upside, plus a potential long-term solution at the position. In return, the A’s could demand high-upside young arms like Connelly Early or Jake Bennett, or even prospects like Anthony Eyanson and Kyson Witherspoon — possibly even tossing in a current catcher to sweeten the deal. If Langeliers hits the market, the Red Sox should absolutely make it happen. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
