When the Boston Red Sox today traded reliever Jordan Hicks and most of his contract to the Chicago White Sox, I wondered if it was a precursor to third baseman Eugenio Suarez finally signing. He’s not the defensive upgrade the Red Sox have reportedly been looking for, but it might be a beggars and choosers situation for them at this point, if they don’t want to pay an outrageous trade price to some other team.
