The Boston Red Sox are struggling significantly following the trade of Rafael Devers, having lost eight of their last 12 games. Their offense has been particularly weak, managing fewer than four runs in eight of those contests. Despite a brief surge against the Toronto Blue Jays, their overall scoring average has plummeted to 2.8 runs per game. As they sit at 41-44 and fall further behind in the AL East and Wild Card chase, speculation mounts about potential deals ahead of the trade deadline.

With the postseason slipping away, Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow's vow to improve the team post-Devers trade is under scrutiny. The Red Sox have their eyes on Eugenio Suárez of the Arizona Diamondbacks, who is enjoying a career year, boasting a .257/.325/.564 batting line with 25 home runs. Acquiring Suárez could provide the power boost Boston needs, especially with Alex Bregman on the injured list. However, uncertainty looms as the Diamondbacks may not be ready to part with their star player yet.
