Red Sox and Nationals pull off a high-stakes, one-for-one trade: Boston sends rising pitcher Connelly Early to D.C. for power-hitting infielder Curtis Mead. With both teams locked in the playoff race, the deal fills immediate needs—Mead slots into Boston’s lineup as a power threat at third, while Early brings much-needed pitching depth to Washington’s shaky rotation. Early, 24, is recovering from elbow issues but projects as a top-three starter; Mead, 25, has emerged as a breakout hitter after years of inconsistency. It’s a calculated gamble for both sides—Boston trades future upside for present offense, while the Nats add a young arm to stabilize their rotation.
