The Red Sox are at a crossroads as they stare down the August trade deadline with a roster that’s underperforming after a high-stakes offseason. Sonny Gray, a standout pitcher with a stellar 9-1 record and low ERA, is a must-move asset for contending teams. Meanwhile, Danny Coulombe is a low-value pitcher ripe for a quick trade, while Aroldis Chapman’s age and inconsistency make him a risky keeper. Willson Contreras, a hot-hitting catcher with power and affordability, could be a valuable offensive upgrade for another team. And Jarren Duran? Best held until the offseason, where non-contending teams might offer better return packages to accelerate the rebuild.
