Boston Red Sox
With the trade deadline looming and the Boston Red Sox on the brink of solidifying their status as legitimate contenders in the American League, the addition of a frontline starter could be the key to their postseason aspirations. Even without trades, the impending returns of Triston Casas and Liam Hendriks from injury will bolster the team’s roster.
The Boston Globe’s Chad Finn suggests that former fan-favorite Nathan Eovaldi could be an ideal acquisition. The Texas Rangers, struggling at 46-50, may consider moving Eovaldi, who has thrived in Boston before. Eovaldi’s previous tenure with the Red Sox included helping secure the 2018 World Series and earning an All-Star nod in 2021. Finn argues that acquiring Eovaldi would be worth the cost of a genuine prospect from the lower end of Boston’s top 10, as his return could be pivotal in the Red Sox’s push for the playoffs.
