Is the Red Sox-Giants trade for Blake Sabol more about catching depth or a strategic move in the international player market? The timing coincides with Roki Sasaki’s signing window, and the Giants reportedly missing out. Did the Red Sox indirectly help another team land Sasaki by bolstering the Giants international pool money? Are we seeing a new trend of teams strategically maneuvering their resources for these high-profile international prospects? What does this mean for the future of international signings? Is this good or bad for smaller market teams? Let’s discuss.
