4/24/25	Red Sox Urged To Make Difficult Roster Decision Involving Infielder. The Boston Red Sox have have had an up-and-down start to the 2025 Major League Baseball season, but there has been more good than bad for sure. One guy who has been a part of this is infielder David Hamilton. Because of this, FanSided's Devon Platana suggested that Boston should send him down to the minors in favor of Vaughn Grissom or Nick Sogard. "If that isn't disappointing enough, Hamilton is striking out on a career-worst 27.6 percent of plate appearances (MLB average is 22.6 percent) while his average exit velocity (83.6 mph) is also noticeably below last year's effort (83.6)," Platana said.

4/13/25	Red Sox could part ways with second baseman to land bullpen help from Mariners. The Boston Red Sox could be on the hunt for relievers at the trade deadline.

AthlonSports' Sam Bernardi proposed this trade that would land a reliever from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for David Hamilton: Red Sox receive: left-handed pitcher Gabe Speier Mariners receive: second baseman David Hamilton and right-handed pitcher Luis Guerrero "Seattle would have a tough time giving up Speier, who has a phenomenal four-seam, sinker, slider combination and has not allowed a run through five and 2/3 innings this season," wrote Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/boston-red-sox...
