Red Sox trade deadline takeaways: How do these 5 players fit the roster?

Entering the trade deadline, the Red Sox identified their need for starting pitching, relief help, and a right-handed bat. In a span of five days, they added five players, four of whom have an immediate impact on the big-league roster. They traded away 10 minor leaguers but managed to keep their top three prospects. The Red Sox addressed their bullpen issues by acquiring two veteran relievers who are set to be free agents this offseason. They also added a veteran presence to their rotation and upgraded their lineup with a right-handed bat. The team believes these moves position them well for the playoffs.
