Red Sox could upgrade infield with .957 OPS top prospect instead of Trevor Story originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Boston Red Sox are looking to make some upgrades to their roster in September for a chance at a deep postseason run in a wide-open American League.
With a strong pitching staff in both the rotation and bullpen, and Roman Anthony set to bolster the outfield, the only area worth looking to upgrade would be their infield. Trevor Story is coming back from injury and could be an option.
But Joel Reuter of Bleacher Report called out .957 OPS prospect Franklin Arias as a possible September call-up option for Boston, who could be a bigger upgrade than Story for a postseason-bound Red Sox team.
"Already widely regarded as the best defensive infielder in the Red Sox system, Franklin Arias has taken his offensive game to new heights this season," Reuter writes.
