Red Sox Reported Pursuing Multiple Trades To Boost Rotation, Offense Ahead Of Trade Deadline

As the Boston Red Sox push for a playoff spot ahead of the July 31 trade deadline, they are actively looking to bolster both their pitching rotation and offensive lineup. Pitching targets include Miami Marlins starter Edwards Cabrera, who is drawing interest from the Red Sox and Chicago Cubs due to his solid performance and team control, and Pittsburgh Pirates starter Mitch Keller, who could be acquired for top prospects Franklin Arias and Jhostynxon Garcia. On the offensive side, the Red Sox seek a reliable bat to play first base, considering options like Arizona Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suárez, who has shown willingness to shift positions and offers significant power hitting. Catching remains a concern, with the Red Sox reportedly interested in Dodgers prospect Dalton Rushing as a potential upgrade over current options, despite roster challenges from established Dodgers players. Overall, the Red Sox aim to address these needs to maintain their second wild card standing and enhance their postseason chances. Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow has expressed satisfaction with the current rotation's young talent but is open to further improvements as the deadline approaches.
