Former MLB general manager Jim Bowden just broke down the Boston Red Sox's biggest weakness this season. He says missing out on Alex Breggman left them with offensive black holes at third base and second base, killing their lineup. Bowden's fix is simple. Trade for a new third baseman from teams like the Astros, Twins, or Giants. Their farm system has the pieces to make it happen. Then shift Caleb Durbin and Marcelo Mayer to battle it out at second.
