The Boston Red Sox have not only been one of the best teams in the American League over the past six weeks but also one of the top teams in all of baseball. With a 53-43 record, they currently hold the third American League Wild Card spot, just half a game behind the Minnesota Twins for the second spot and 3.5 games behind the New York Yankees for the top Wild Card spot.

Previously trailing the Yankees by over 10 games, the Red Sox have significantly narrowed the gap. A strong trade deadline could propel Boston further, enhancing their postseason chances. The Red Sox are likely to add players, with a starting pitcher and a right-handed bat being the primary needs.

One potential low-risk, high-reward acquisition is Oakland Athletics utility man Miguel Andújar. Andújar has impressed this season, playing 44 games in left field and first base while slashing .281/.306/.382 with three home runs and 21 RBIs. Having spent over five seasons with the Yankees, Andújar is familiar with the American League. His best season was in 2018 when he hit 27 home runs, 47 doubles, drove in 92 runs, and slashed .297/.328/.537.

Andújar would be a valuable addition for the Red Sox, likely available at a low cost and with significant upside. While he wouldn’t need to play every day, especially once Triston Casas returns, his current form at the plate could strengthen Boston’s lineup. The Red Sox need another right-handed bat, and Andújar could be an ideal fit.
