The Boston Red Sox have recently experienced a major setback with the trade of Rafael Devers, creating a significant gap in their lineup. With this in mind, speculation is rife regarding suitable replacements, and MLB insider Mark Feinsand has suggested that Josh Naylor of the Arizona Diamondbacks could be an ideal candidate. Currently, the Diamondbacks are in playoff contention, which complicates any move for Naylor as he is one of several impending free agents on their roster.

Naylor has been performing well this season, boasting a .302 batting average with nine home runs, making him an attractive option for teams in need of a corner infielder. The Red Sox have a couple of first base options in Abraham Toro and Romy Gonzalez, with both showing promising results, although in shorter playing time, but the addition of Naylor could bolster their offensive strategy. While Naylor's production is commendable, the Red Sox may need to weigh the benefits of acquiring him against their current talent pool and the Diamondbacks' playoff aspirations.

With the MLB trade deadline approaching, teams are eyeing potential acquisitions to bolster their rosters. Notable names on the market include Andrew Heaney of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who has thrived despite limited run support. His experience in high-stakes games makes him a desirable target for teams like the Dodgers and Cubs.

Emmanuel Clase from the Cleveland Guardians presents an enticing option for teams seeking bullpen reinforcement, as he appears to have regained his form. Meanwhile, Ryan O'Hearn's stellar season with the Baltimore Orioles could help a contender looking for offensive firepower.

The Arizona Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suárez and Chris Sale of the Atlanta Braves are also on the radar, with both players capable of significantly impacting a playoff chase. Additionally, St. Louis Cardinals' Ryan Helsley and Arizona's Josh Naylor have caught the attention of teams looking for infield and closing solutions, making this trade season particularly thrilling.

The Toronto Blue Jays are on a roll, clinching a thrilling victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks, largely thanks to a standout performance from Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who delivered a three-hit, three-RBI game. As they prepare for the next matchup, Guerrero looks to continue his hot streak against struggling pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez. Recent statistics reflect Guerrero's impressive form, scoring in over 65% of games since May 1 while maintaining a high on-base percentage of .393.

On the mound, Eric Lauer faces the challenge against the Diamondbacks. His strikeout line is set low at under 3.5, and with Arizona’s high contact rate against left-handed pitchers, it could be tough for him to surpass expectations. Given these dynamics, betting on Guerrero to score seems a favorable option for fantasy players seeking to capitalize on his current form.

The Arizona Diamondbacks face off against the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 2 of their series after a narrow 5-4 loss in the opener. Eduardo Rodriguez is set to pitch for Arizona, while Eric Lauer takes the mound for Toronto. The Blue Jays edged out the Diamondbacks with a thrilling ninth-inning comeback featuring back-to-back home runs from Bo Bichette and Addison Barger. Meanwhile, Josh Naylor continues to show his batting prowess with a robust 7-game hitting streak for the Diamondbacks. The latest odds favor the Blue Jays slightly at -113, while the Diamondbacks sit at -106. With runs expected to flow, the over/under is set at 9.0 runs.

The Toronto Blue Jays have been on a tear, winning 12 of their last 14 and earning a playoff spot, while the Arizona Diamondbacks are hot in the National League with a 9-4 record this June. Their matchup brings to mind last year's pivotal trade, sending Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and top prospect Gabriel Moreno to the D-backs in exchange for Daulton Varsho. Initially viewed as a lopsided deal, especially after Arizona reached the World Series, the narrative is shifting as Varsho's defensive prowess begins to showcase his value.

Manager John Schneider acknowledges that while Varsho's offensive stats have been underwhelming, his gold-glove defense and leadership are invaluable. In contrast, Gurriel and Moreno have thrived in Arizona, significantly contributing to their postseason success. This evolving perspective on the trade illustrates how both teams may ultimately benefit from their decisions, as the Blue Jays adapt to a new model of play focusing on defense over slugging.
