The Boston Red Sox are currently missing a pretty significant piece of the starting rotation. Tanner Houck hasn't taken the mound for Boston since May 12th. He has been working his way back on a minor league rehab assignment and it seemed like this week Boston could get clarity on when he could return.

The Red Sox, to whatever degree of surprise you consider it, have played themselves into position. The post Another year, another chance for Red Sox to turn a something first half into something lasting appeared first on Boston.

The Boston Red Sox could be in the market for a new first baseman at the trade deadline. While their platoon at first base has not been terrible, they could still benefit from an upgrade.
