Boston Red Sox pull off a savvy trade, acquiring hot-hitting righty Curtis Mead from the Nationals in exchange for pitcher Connelly Early. Mead, a versatile third baseman who can also play second, slots in to bolster Boston’s offense as they surge toward the AL Wild Card spot. Caleb Durbin, Boston’s current third baseman, is expected to stay at his position but will get reps at second and shortstop to accommodate Mead’s arrival. The front office and players are all on board, ready to adapt. With Mead’s bat heating up and the team on a hot streak, this move could be a major boost — even if it meant giving up a promising prospect.
