Red Sox Expected to Trade Wilyer Abreu for Sandy Alcántara

The Boston Red Sox are under pressure to bolster their roster as injuries hit their starting rotation hard at the outset of the season, with Lucas Giolito and Brayan Bello both starting on the injured list. With Connor Wong's role as starting catcher coming under scrutiny, trade speculation surrounds potential replacements, particularly Philadelphia's J.T. Realmuto. Meanwhile, the Red Sox are also exploring trade options to strengthen their pitching, with a focus on acquiring Miami Marlins ace Sandy Alcántara, who could be available despite the Marlins' reluctance to trade him. Reports suggest that a potential deal for Alcántara could involve promising players like Wilyer Abreu and several top prospects, highlighting the Red Sox's position as serious contenders if their new acquisitions perform well. The team is looking to navigate these challenges effectively as they aim to compete in the American League East. As the season progresses, how they handle injuries and trades will be crucial to their success.
