Paredes' Fenway Vision Issues Spare Red Sox

0:00On March 31st, Red Sox fans dodged a potential bullet this off-season with those trade rumors swirling around Houston Astros' infielder Isaac Paratis. The team was hunting for a big power bat, and Paratis popped up as a hot name even after Alex Bergman bounced. He's a two-time all-star with 20 home runs last year and a club option through 2027. Astros had too many infielders, making Paratis a prime trade piece. Boston pictured him crushing balls off the green monster as a right-handed pole hitter. But earlier this week, he spilled the beans through reporters. Paratis straight up said, Fenway Part messes with his vision. He loves the fans, but struggles to pick up the ball there. For a pole guy like him, seeing it clearly is everything to make solid contact. His career stats at Fenway back it up, though the sample is small. 65 played appearances batting just over 240 with 3 homers, 10. Walks and 12 strikeouts. Not the splashing numbers Red Sox hoped for. Maybe missing out on Paratis clears the path for a better fit at Fenway.
