Trades have depleted the system’s star power and depth, although Dave Dombrowski’s most recent deal, sending two top prospects to the White Sox for Chris Sale, made sense for a team in win-now mode. The Red Sox have had productive drafts the past two years to provide the system with depth prospects and the 2016 class got off to a strong collective start, so there’s still plenty left here to excite Red Sox fans (or for the next big trade).
