Are we near the end of the line for the return on this trade?
On March 23, the Red Sox designated Rosario for assignment to open a spot on the 40-man roster for Trevor Story. Three days later he was claimed by the Yankees. So far in the young season he's 1-11 with a HR and 4 Ks.
Meanwhile, Hudson Potts lost his spot on the 40-man on March 22 but went unclaimed. Now he has started the season for Portland at 0-14 with 5 BBs and 8 Ks. Not only that, he's been bumped down the defensive spectrum, from 3rd to 1st. Last year he hit .217/.264/.399 (.663 OPS) with 100 Ks against 16 BBs in 281 ABs (36% K rate). I wonder how long the Red Sox give him to try to get straightened out.
