The Boston Red Sox traded their No. 4 ranked prospect, catcher Kyle Teel , to the Chicago White Sox in the deal that brought left-handed ace Garrett Crochet to Boston .

Teel would have had a clear path to a big-league role alongside Connor Wong but instead, he's the odd man out among the "core four " Sox prospects.

The Red Sox are looking for rotation upgrades, right-handed bats, and bullpen help.

Rafael Devers likely will maintain his role at the hot corner at third base.

Masataka Yoshida doesn't fit well on the roster as a left-handed hitter who lacks power.

The Red Sox still have a logjam in the outfield after Tyler O'Neill signed with the Baltimore Orioles .
