This Club 'Big-Game Hunting' Ahead of MLB Trade Deadline
The Boston Red Sox are said to be 'big-game hunting' ahead of the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline on Monday at 6 p.m. ET.
As the MLB trade deadline approaches, the Boston Red Sox are gearing up for a potential roster overhaul in an effort to compete in the American League East. According to sources, Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow has been pursued by several high-profile players, but no definitive deals have been made thus far. The club appears to be pursuing long-term solutions across multiple positions, including shortstop, catcher, pitching rotation, and bullpen.
Potential targets include Elly De La Cruz from the Cincinnati Reds, Adley Rutschman from the Baltimore Orioles, Zach Neto from the Los Angeles Angels, Otto Lopez from the Miami Marlins, and Luis Arraez from the San Francisco Giants. Notably, the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays have already made significant moves, with the Yankees signing first baseman/designated hitter Luis Garcia Jr. and the Rays trading for starting pitcher Freddy Peralta.
As other teams make their moves, the pressure is mounting on the Red Sox to make their big moves before the trade deadline.
