Summary
Willson Contreras is Boston’s offensive engine—and the Red Sox aren’t ready to trade him. Despite a recent dip, he’s still crushing homers, driving in runs, and keeping the team alive at the trade deadline. Lou Merloni warns that sending him away would just create another gaping hole, especially since Contreras is under contract and provides elite right-handed power at a reasonable price. With the team already struggling to find a reliable first baseman, keeping Contreras makes strategic sense—letting him stay lets Boston focus on other needs without risking another rebuild.
