Could Matt Harvey be a trade candidate for the Red Sox?
It's been a rollercoaster ride the past few days for Matt Harvey and the New York Mets.
The back-and-forth between his camp and the team regarding an innings limit has been a saga, but the saga might not yet be over.
Should the relationship between the two sever, the Pete Abraham from the Boston Globe thinks the Boston Red Sox would be wise to target the young ace.
Harvey will be 27 in March and cannot become a free agent until 2019. The Red Sox could have him under team control for three seasons, all at a prime age. Harvey would be a perfect fit for the Sox as they wait to see if an ace develops from within the organization.
Abraham goes on to cite that the Sox can deal from their excellent depth, especially among their elite prospects.
The Sox also may be uniquely qualified to make a deal because of their talent base. They could build a package around Bogaerts, Mookie Betts or Blake Swihart. Or try a group of prospects led by Yoan Moncada and Manuel Margot.
The Mets are no strangers to blockbuster trades, of course, having sent reigning Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey to the Blue Jays for a large package of prospects.
