The Boston Red Sox are currently sitting at a 43-38 record, placing them in third in their division and just 1.5 games behind a wild-card spot.
As the MLB trade deadline approaches, the Red Sox front office has a decision to make on whether to buy, sell, or stay put.
Manager Alex Cora recently shared his thoughts on the upcoming deadline, emphasizing the importance of staying competitive.
“I believe there are three options at the trading deadline: buy, sell, or stay put,” Cora explained. “We must aim to improve and not settle for mediocrity. Let’s strive for greatness and push ourselves to reach higher goals.”

By making strategic additions to the team in the coming weeks, the Red Sox could strengthen their position in the playoff race, especially with the imminent return of first baseman Triston Casas.
This season, the Red Sox have exceeded expectations and have shown they have what it takes to compete at a high level.
