The Boston Red Sox are currently experiencing a tumultuous season, holding a record of 43-45 as they near the All-Star break. Positioned fourth in the competitive American League East, the team finds itself just three games back in the wild card race. Boston's front office, led by President Sam Kennedy, has received a green light to be buyers at the upcoming trade deadline, despite the team's instability on the field.

Earlier this month, they made a significant move by trading superstar Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants, acquiring pitchers Kyle Harrison and Jordan Hicks along with two prospects. Kennedy expressed optimism about the team's potential to make a postseason push if the right talent is acquired, emphasizing the need for the team to improve its consistency and performance.
