It’s silly season right now with the trade deadline little over a week away. In that spirit I have decided to write a beautiful work of science-fiction in which I am handed the reigns of this franchise for the time between now and the March 8 deadline. I have, as all good and benevolent overlords do, tried to be reasonable in terms of what the trades look like on balance.

Hey baseball fans! Carl Yastrzemski is one of the greatest hitters in Red Sox history, but he was not the only star outfielder that graced the grass of Fenway in the 1960s. The Red Sox used to have a right-handed hitter by the name of Tony Conigliaro. Conigliaro was a great hitter for the first few years of his career, and looked to continue that trend deep into that 1967 "Impossible Dream" season for the BoSox. Then, in August of that season, tragedy struck. Tony Conigliaro debuted in B...
