After yesterday's disappointing 1-4 loss to the Pirates, the urgency to decide whether to buy or sell is palpable, especially with rumors swirling around top hitters like Elly De La Cruz, who the Red Sox reportedly coveted. Meanwhile, Chase Burns continues to make a strong case for his value, showcasing his skills while securing his 12th consecutive win against tough conditions.
