The Red Sox should trade Blake Swihart, Travis Shaw and Jackie Bradley Jr this offseason...or not
Twitter: @mendoza_lines
I've compared the 2015 Red Sox to having tiny pieces of bamboo shoved down my fingernails - it's painful. Yet, the Red Sox have a lingering question that continues to hover over the organization as they finish out another last place season:
What will the Red Sox do with their young talent?
More specifically, will the Red Sox keep Travis Shaw, Blake Swihart and Jackie Bradley Jr. or will they trade them in the offseason? I have my opinions, but I'll share those in another post (talk about a teaser). I threw the question out on Twitter and here's what I got back.
Do you agree or disagree with Red Sox Twitter Nation? Leave me (and them) a comment below.

@mendoza_lines @RedSoxLife I'd say trade bait! Sell them when their value is high!

@mendoza_lines @RedSoxLife you have to wait and see if Vazquez is the same catcher first. But I think the other two should be trade bait

@mendoza_lines @RedSoxLife keep them, JBJ if he even hits 230 becomes the best defensive outfielder in the league

@mendoza_lines @RedSoxLife U have 2 trade JBJ. Try 2 package Hanley & JBJ together 2 get rid of Hanley's contract & keep Shaw & Swihart

@mendoza_lines @RedSoxLife keep JBJ too good defensively, not sure about shaw and would keep swihart

@mendoza_lines @RedSoxLife Keep all 3. Those guys with Mookie & Zander are a solid core all around. Panda & Bucholz have to go

@mendoza_lines @RedSoxLife There are, nor should there be any untouchables on this team. If packaged the right way, everyone should be avail

@mendoza_lines @RedSoxLife JBJ turned it around. I will never trade him. He is like WM. Stay with the others too

@mendoza_lines @RedSoxLife Keep them and get rid of Hanley!

@mendoza_lines we are in a position with our young core to be great for the next decade. If it takes dealing some to get an arm or two then
