The Boston Red Sox remain in contention for a postseason spot despite a lackluster season, sitting just 2.5 games out of the wild card position. A potential boost comes with the expected return of Alex Bregman, which would stabilize their infield. With Bregman back, top prospect Marcelo Mayer could transition to second base, while Kristian Campbell continues to develop in Triple-A.

Rumors suggest the Red Sox may also target Willi Castro from the Minnesota Twins. Castro, an All-Star last year, has improved his performance this season, boasting a .24/.362/.435 line with seven homers. His addition could significantly aid the Red Sox's playoff aspirations as they aim to enhance their infield depth and overall competitiveness.
