Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom is now staring at a gaping hole in the middle of Boston’s infield.<\/p>\n
With Xander Bogaerts department for the San Diego Padres in free agency and Trevor Story landing on the injury shelf Tuesday after undergoing an internal bracing procedure on the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, Boston is without its two starters at both shortstop and second base from last season.<\/p>\n
It will be on Bloom to find the right replacements and while he could comb over the open market in search of an under-the-radar signing, the answer could come from Boston’s pipeline of prospects.<\/p>\n
Settle down, Bloom isn’t about to have Marcelo Mayer, the fourth overall pick in the 2021 MLB Draft who hasn’t played above High-A Greenville, make the giant leap to the big leagues at 20 years old.<\/p>\n
But, could Bloom rely on another highly touted prospect in Ceddanne Rafaela to fill the void in the middle infield? The Red Sox boss put up the stop sign on that, too.<\/p>\n
