Red Sox Weigh Deadline Moves Amid Buehler Struggles

The Boston Red Sox, currently at a 40-40 record and just 1.5 games out of an AL Wild Card spot, have traded star third baseman Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants but are not indicating a full rebuild. Instead, the team is reportedly seeking to add a big bat, starting pitching, and bullpen help ahead of the trade deadline. Potential reinforcements include Alex Bregman, Tanner Houck, and Kyle Harrison, who may soon join the roster. Starter Walker Buehler's future remains uncertain after a difficult season marked by a 6.29 ERA and a career-high seven walks in his latest start, fueling trade speculation amid outside interest. Despite Buehler's struggles and recent trades, team leadership insists they are not giving up on the season. The Red Sox's direction at the deadline will depend on their performance in the coming weeks.
