The Red Sox are on fire, winning 20 of 25 since early July, but the front office is already moving fast before the trade deadline. Craig Breslow’s latest deal sent pitcher Connelly Early to the Nationals for Curtis Mead—only for Mead to injure his wrist and likely miss the rest of the season. With shortstop injuries piling up and errors mounting, Boston is eyeing names like Zach Neto and Otto Lopez, possibly even trading a top prospect to land an established bat. At catcher, where they’ve been struggling, Liam Hicks from Miami or Ryan Jeffers from Minnesota are in play—even if the Twins aren’t eager to part with Jeffers. On the mound, they’re solid but need depth with Early gone and Crochet still sidelined. And there’s hope: Roman Anthony, a promising hitter recovering from injury, could return soon to give them a boost without needing a trade.
