The Boston Red Sox, after trading Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants, initially faced struggles, going 3-7 in their first ten games without him. However, a surprising ten-game win streak has revitalized their playoff hopes, prompting discussions about their trade plans. While trading some outfield depth is possible, the team is expected to focus on bolstering their pitching staff instead of a complete teardown.

With a young core emerging and veterans like Alex Bregman guiding them, the team feels they are on the brink of success. Bregman expresses his confidence in the team's potential, noting their growth and adaptability. Key players, including All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman, are more settled now, as the pressure of trade rumors lessens. Manager Alex Cora emphasizes the importance of staying focused, urging his team to keep winning without getting distracted by trade talks.
