Bundle Veterans to Maximize Prospect Return
Beyond Robert and Houser, the Sox have a grab bag of serviceable veterans worth bundling:
Mike Tauchman: Solid .840 OPS, one more year of control.
Michael A. Taylor: Defensive value, late-inning outfield fit.
Austin Slater: Crushes lefties, ideal platoon bat.
None brings a major haul solo, but packaged together? That could attract a top-20 organizational prospect from a contender in need of depth. Watch for Steven Wilson—who has two years of control—as the bullpen piece with the most value. Others like Dan Altavilla, Tyler Alexander, Brandon Eisert, and Tyler Gilbert could all be in the mix.
