The Boston Red Sox are in the position that many thought they would be in as the World Series started. After beating the Los Angeles Dodgers by a 9-6 margin in Game 4 http://www.marinersfanproshop.com/authentic-edgar-martinez-jersey , they have a 3-1 lead and are one game away from winning the 2018 World Series.The Red Sox will try to finish off the Dodgers in Game 5 Sunday night at 8:15 p.m. ET at Dodger Stadium.

Phillip/Associated Press They may be on the edge of their fourth World Series title since 2004, but it was anything but easy. The Red Sox were coming off a brutal 18-inning 3-2 defeat in Game 3, and their offense had been lifeless through six innings against 38-year-old Dodger lefty Rich Hill.The Dodgers starter had given up just one hit in the game, but L.A. manager Dave Roberts took him out with a runner on first and one out in the seventh. That turned out to be a pivotal moment.Los Angeles had broken through in the bottom of the sixth inning. The game had been scoreless up to that point, as Eduardo Rodriguez had held the Dodgers to two hits. L.A. got on the board when catcher Christian Vazquez's relay throw to first base went up the line for an error as he tried to complete a double play, and Yasiel Puig added a three-run homer.That blow to left field had the feel of a back-breaker since the Boston offense had been sleeping. But Mitch Moreland turned that around with a three-run home run off Ryan Madson in the top of the seventh inning. That shot deep into the right-field bleachers breathed life into the Red Sox dugout.Joe Kelly blunted the Dodgers in the bottom of the seventh inning, and the Red Sox came to bat in the eighth inning against Los Angeles closer Kenley Jansen. A day after giving up a tying home run to Jackie Bradley Jr., he did the same to Steve Pearce."That's a good team over there," Jansen explained after the game on the MLB Network postgame broadcast. "I made one mistake yesterday and one mistake today, and they hit them."Kelly fired another scoreless inning in the bottom of the eighth, and the Red Sox went to work in the ninth. Brock Holt got things started with a one-out double that he sliced down the left field line, and Rafael Devers lined a single to center that scored the go-ahead run.Mookie Betts followed with a walk, and Andrew Benintendi had an infield single before Pearce unloaded the bases with a three-run double to right center. Xander Bogaerts drove in Pearce with a single.Craig Kimbrel was shaky in the ninth Mitch Haniger Jersey , giving up a two-run homer to Kike Hernandez, but the Red Sox wiped their collective brow and took home the win when CodyBellinger flew out to Benintendi to end the game.Pearce credited the Red Sox's pitching for giving the team a chance while the offense struggled in Game 3 and the first six innings of Game 4."Our offense went silent for about 20-plus innings, but our pitchers did a great job," Pearce told MLB Network reporter Heidi Watney. "Then we came to life, and it was a great team win. We still have one more win to go."The Red Sox were expected to send Chris Sale to the mound in Game 5, but Red Sox manager Alex Cora revealed in his postgame press conference that David Price would get the ball and oppose Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers.Cora mentioned the change as he was leaving the press conference, but he came back to explain that he thought Price would have the better matchup and that Sale would pitch in Game 6 if necessary.Price has been solid in his two World Series outings, as he started in Game 2 and pitched in relief in Game 3. He has allowed four hits and two runs while striking out five and walking four.Kershaw was shaky in Game 1, giving up seven hit and five runs (all earned) in 4.0 innings. He struck out five and walked three.The left-hander has been the ace of the Dodgers' staff for years, and while he has lost some velocity in recent years, he should have enough to rise to the occasion.The Red Sox will challenge him and fight hard to win the World Series in Dodger Stadium, but it is going to be difficult to beat the Los Angeles ace at his home ballpark. Could Cincinnati’s 3B depth help them land them an ace?"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Farmers onlyFeaturesPlayoffsHistory/Hall of FameHot StoveCincinnati Reds RumorsPadres looking to Reds for 3B help in potential three-team deal involving Cleveland’s Corey KluberNew,139commentsCould Cincinnati’s 3B depth help them land them an ace?ESTShareTweetShareSharePadres looking to Reds for 3B help in potential three-team deal involving Cleveland’s Corey KluberTroy Taormina-USA TODAY SportsThe Cincinnati Reds have been on a thorough search for pitching for years, it feels like. Decades, even, if you care to consider that they’ve never once had a Cy Young Award winner.Meanwhile, the San Diego Padres have been in rebuild mode for as long or longer than the Reds, and while they haven’t exactly entered ‘win-now’ territory, they have been looking for their long-term answer at 3B for awhile now, especially since their experiment with Wil Myers fizzled out last year.Up in Cleveland, the Indians have managed to sit atop the AL Central for several years now http://www.marinersfanproshop.com/authentic-edgar-martinez-jersey , and while they do still seem poised to continue that reign, they’re looking to move some money around to help keep their payroll in check. And Cleveland, in case you haven’t noticed, is chock full of dominant big-league starting pitching.If three teams have obvious needs and they all are well aware of those facts, is there any chance a blockbuster could go down? According to The Athletic’s Dennis Lin, that seems to be exactly what the Padres are thinking - and they’re looking to both Cincinnati and Cleveland to potentially make that happen.The Reds, of course, have been tied to Kluber all offseason, and have top prospect Nick Senzel currently blocked at 3B by All Star - and recently extended - Eugenio Suarez. That certainly isn’t new to Padres GM A.J. Preller, as San Diego has eyes on Senzel as the potential return that could send Kluber to the Reds, Lin added.That the Reds absolutely do not want to move Senzel has been rather apparent for awhile now, and that that seems to still be the case. Moving a consensus Top 10 prospect who is MLB ready at potentially three (or more) positions is a tough thing to do for any franchise, let alone one with consistently middle of the road payrolls that doesn’t appear to be a legit contender right this minute. Still, picking up Kluber - the two-time AL Cy Young Award winner - would instantly give the Reds the top of the rotation starter they have long sought, and it’s that kind of shiny prize that just might have the wheels in their front office noggins spinning at a great rate.The interesting question here, though, is this - what if the Reds were to consider moving Eugenio Suarez instead of Senzel in a deal to land Kluber?Suarez, obviously, just had a monster 2019 on the heels of a great 2018 and a favorable contract extension. He is now inked thorugh potentially the 2025 season for a max of $76 million, and just turned 27 years old this past year. In fact, you could realistically make the argument that his production and team-friendly contract might well even be more valuable than the 33 year old Kluber’s 3 years of team control at some $52.5 million Alex Colome Jersey , which means the Reds could even potentially extract an additional piece from either San Diego or Cleveland in a deal that would involve Suarez. And, if you consider the Suarez/Kluber move to be more or less cash-neutral - more overall guaranteed money to Suarez, more immediate money due to Kluber - that could well allow the Reds to continue to explore more pitching additions and still be within their estimated ‘record’ payroll range for the 2019 season. Senzel would take over 3B for Suarez, Kluber would top the rotation, and the Reds could conceivably still pursue Dallas Keuchel - and a Kluber, Keuchel, Luis Castillo, Alex Wood, Tanner Roark starting rotation is the kind that would actually, finally look like a strength on paper for the Reds.Either way, this sure seems like something that would require each of San Diego, Cleveland, and Cincinnati to part ways with significant pieces, likely with Cleveland ending up with big-league ready OF pieces or legitimate bullpen help, which both appear to be serious holes on their roster at the moment. Since the Padres might well have those kind of pieces, the concept of this blockbuster does at least have some legs - provided that each of the three teams is willing to sign off on such a major, franchise-changing move.
