Boston Red Sox Expected to Trade Multiple Key Pitchers by MLB Deadline

As the 2025 MLB trade deadline approaches, the Boston Red Sox face a pivotal moment with several key players potentially on the move. All-star closer Aroldis Chapman is widely expected to be traded, given his outstanding performance this season and the team's inclination to embrace a youth movement. Meanwhile, pitcher Lucas Giolito, who has overcome recent injuries and inconsistent performances, has expressed a strong desire to remain with Boston and help the team succeed, despite being a potential trade candidate. The future of third baseman Alex Bregman also hangs in the balance; if he and the team cannot agree on a contract extension, he might be traded to teams like the Detroit Tigers or Seattle Mariners. Additionally, the team is considering trading starting pitcher Walker Buehler amid questions about their direction after already trading away Rafael Devers. Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow has indicated a desire to bolster the team, but the next few weeks will determine whether Boston buys, sells, or holds on to its core players as they vie for a postseason spot.
