The Boston Red Sox are making waves in the trade market following the recent deal involving Rafael Devers, who was sent to the San Francisco Giants. With Devers gone, the team is looking to fill the void, and manager Alex Cora is turning to Kristian Campbell, who has recently been given the opportunity to play first base for the Triple-A WooSox. While Campbell's numbers earlier in the season were lackluster, with a .223 batting average, he has shown flashes of potential that could be crucial for the Red Sox's roster.

Cora's decision indicates a strategic shift; rather than seeking a veteran first baseman, he hopes Campbell can step up and contribute significantly to the team. Campbell's recent performance includes a double and a triple in just two games since being called up. The Red Sox find themselves at a crossroads—whether to rely on unproven talent or make a significant trade to bolster their offense. Campbell's development will be pivotal as the season unfolds.
