Red Sox News
The Boston Red Sox are riding a wave of momentum after a thrilling 5-4 win over the Athletics, highlighted by back-to-back homers from Wilyer Abreu and Willson Contreras. This team has turned a corner, boasting a solid 5-2 record over the past week and a robust +7 run differential. Yet, amid this resurgence, the front office faces significant challenges as the trade deadline looms. Craig Breslow's recent trade for slugger Curtis M could be just the tip of the iceberg, as the team considers options to bolster its roster despite absurd asks from teams like the Rockies for players like Hunter Goodman. With Jarren Duran's frustrations boiling over on the field, the Red Sox must focus on both team chemistry and strategic acquisitions if they hope to maintain this upward trajectory.
