George Springer has expressed interest in a trade to the Boston Red Sox, according to sources. The Toronto Blue Jays outfielder, who has a history of performing well at Fenway Park, is exploring the possibility ahead of Monday's trade deadline. Springer, a Red Sox fan since childhood, previously expected Boston to pursue him when he was a free agent in 2020 but signed with Toronto instead. Despite a slow start this season, he has shown improvement since the All-Star break, raising questions about a potential move to the Red Sox, who are looking to bolster their lineup after recent injuries.

- •The Red Sox are in playoff contention after a strong July.
- •Springer could fill a designated hitter role for Boston.
