The Boston Red Sox have struggled in the 2025 season despite high expectations following key signings like Garrett Crochet, Alex Bregman, and Walker Buehler. Currently sitting at 34-36, they are nine games behind in the AL East and grappling with inconsistency in their pitching staff. Beyond Crochet, injuries to Kutter Crawford and Tanner Houck have hurt the rotation, and Buehler's performances have been subpar. As the trade deadline approaches, the Red Sox are looking for pitching help, possibly eyeing Miami Marlins' Edward Cabrera instead of the more talked about Sandy Alcantara, given Cabrera's solid 3.99 ERA this season.
