The Boston Red Sox have won 14 consecutive games leading into their game on July 22, 2026, and are shifting their focus to becoming buyers before the August 3 MLB trade deadline. ESPN’s Jeff Passan identified three potential shortstop targets: Zach Neto, Jeremy Pena, and CJ Abrams. Neto, currently with the Los Angeles Angels, is seen as the most realistic option given the Angels' struggles this season. Meanwhile, Pena's status with the Houston Astros may depend on their performance in the coming weeks. Abrams, with the Washington Nationals, remains a long shot due to his team’s playoff contention.
