That’s because 28-year-old Bobby Dalbec is having a season for the ages down on the farm and it may be in large part because of some advice he got from Red Sox veteran Justin Turner.</p><p>Turner said he and Dalbec <a href="https://www.masslive.com/redsox/2023/08/red-sox-veteran-who-survived-to-make-mlb-also-helps-bobby-dalbec-30-hr.html?utm_campaign=masslivesports&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter" rel="noopener">talk frequently</a> about a plethora of things, mostly pertaining to hitting.</p><p>“He actually reached out to me the other day just talking about some vision stuff and what to look for as far as soft focus, fine focus,” Turner said, via Christopher Smith.</p><p>Turner spent parts of five seasons in the minors before he got his first true shot in the big leagues. He said if it weren’t for some key adjustments, he may not have made a name for himself in MLB.</p><p>“I don’t think I was a great hitter coming up until I made some adjustments to start driving balls so I had to take good at-bats,” Turner said. “I had to control the strike zone. I had to situational hit or I don’t know if I ever would have made it to the major leagues. I had to do that to survive.”</p><p>Bobby Dalbec has gotten only 12 at-bats with the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/red-sox-news-justin-turner-dealing-with-brutal-injury" rel="noopener">Red Sox this season,</a> but it’s not because he hasn’t deserved a spot on the roster. The Red Sox haven’t had room for him, but that should change once rosters expand in September.</p><p>The Red Sox have turned Dalbec into a utility-type player recently, which could help them down the stretch. Of course, it would help even more if his 30 home runs and .991 OPS translated to MLB.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Boston Red Sox fans were excited to see if Dalbec could emerge as a key player for the team at some point. Following a difficult start to his 2023 season though, Boston <a href="https://www.mlb.com/redsox/news/red-sox-injuries-and-roster-moves" rel="noopener">optioned</a> Dalbec to Triple-A Worcester, per MLB.com.</p><p>Although the 27-year old corner infielder has flashed signs of stardom in the past, he hasn’t been able to put it all together for the Red Sox.</p><h2><b>It’s time for Red Sox to trade Bobby Dalbec</b></h2><p>Bobby Dalbec made his MLB debut with Boston during the shortened 2020 season. Through 23 games played, he slashed a respectable .263/.359/.600 with a .959 OPS. His impressive production in such a limited time span led many to believe Dalbec would become the Red Sox’s next big star.</p><p>In 2021, he lived up to the hype… to an extent. He hit .240 with a .792 OPS and 25 home runs. However, his OBP checked in at a lackluster .298. Dalbec clearly hadn’t reached his full potential, but 2021 was a step in the right direction. 2022 seemed destined to be the year of Bobby Dalbec.</p><p>Instead, he slashed a miserable .215/.283/.369 with a .652 OPS and 12 home runs through 117 games. Boston still believed in Dalbec, but they were also beginning to consider alternatives.</p><p>The Red Sox reportedly <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/red-sox-news-boston-bobby-dalbec-available-trade-al-east-rival-interested" rel="noopener">made Dalbec available for trade</a> during this past offseason. A deal failed to come to fruition, and Dalbec remained in Boston. After <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/red-sox-news-bobby-dalbec-gets-true-feelings-off-chest-after-failing-to-make-opening-day-roster" rel="noopener">failing to make</a> the Red Sox’s 2023 Opening Day roster, it became clear that change was probably the best solution for all parties involved. Dalbec was later recalled to the big league club, but hit just .182/.308/.182 with a .490 OPS over 13 plate appearances.</p><p>Now with the Red Sox optioning him back to Triple-A, Boston needs to pull the trigger on a trade. They won’t receive an eye-opening return by any means, but Dalbec is still young enough to warrant a decent trade package. His immense power will catch the attention of offensive-starved teams. Ball clubs such as the Cleveland Guardians, Miami Marlins, and Milwaukee Brewers profile as decent landing destinations for Dalbec.</p><p>Regardless of where he ends up, it is time for the Red Sox to deal him away.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Now, it looks like the 27-year-old could be on the move and potentially even dealt to an AL East rival.</p><p>At this year’s Winter Meetings, the Red Sox have reportedly <a href="https://twitter.com/Sean_McAdam/status/1599939878858330113" rel="noopener">been telling teams</a> that Dalbec is available for trade. That same report stated that the Tampa Bay Rays are one of the team’s interested in acquiring Dalbec’s services.</p><p>In his three seasons and 273 games at the MLB level, Dalbec has hit .232 with 45 home runs and 133 RBI. He has shown he can hit the long ball, slugging 25 home runs in 2021. However, Dalbec has also dealt with some consistency troubles, striking out 313 times thus far into his career.</p><p>Despite his potential, the Red Sox look ready to move on. Heading into 2023, Boston has two first basemen in top prospect Triston Casas and veteran Eric Hosmer, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/padres-news-eric-hosmer-traded-to-red-sox-after-juan-soto-snafu" rel="noopener">who they acquired from the Padres last season</a>, already on the roster. With Rafael Devers locked in at third base, Bobby Dalbec’s secondary position, it doesn’t look like he is in the Red Sox’ plan for the future.</p><p>For the Rays, Dalbec could intrigue them as a potential bounce-back option. He <a href="https://www.mlb.com/prospects/2021/redsox/" rel="noopener">was ranked</a> as Boston’s third-best prospect from 2019 to 2021 by MLB Pipeline. After trading Ji-Man Choi to the Pirates, Tampa Bay is looking into another power-hitting first baseman.</p><p>Bobby Dalbec has the power and prospect pedigree where a team like the Rays would be willing to take a chance. But for the Red Sox, it appears that Dalbec already has one foot out the door as Boston looks to trade their former top prospect.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
