Red Sox News

The Red Sox pulled off a surprising 9-4 comeback win against the Dodgers, showing they can rise to the occasion against top-tier competition. However, the victory came with a heavy cost as Willson Contreras was hit in the helmet by a 95 mph fastball, leaving him in concussion protocol and raising concerns about his availability moving forward. As the trade deadline approaches on Monday, Boston is also exploring potential deals, with Jarren Duran's struggles possibly making him a candidate for a change of scenery. With a record of 57-51, the Red Sox are in a solid spot, but the need for pitching help remains a priority, especially with names like Clay Holmes and Luke Weaver still in play from the Mets' fire sale. The coming days will reveal if the Sox can bolster their roster as they aim for a playoff push.

While Boston’s recent 15-game win streak vaulted them into clear buyers, their left fielder has had a poor season and is a change of scenery candidate.

Never Say Die Red Sox Will Another Comeback Win, Shock Dodgers 9-4 in LA
The trade deadline is Monday. Tonight was about winning a baseball game in Los Angeles against the best lineup in the National League. Mission accomplished. Ranger Suarez was decent enough. He went 4.2 innings, got into a jam, and left, not completely unscathed but with two down. Not a disaster—the kind of start where a […]
