George Springer may be targeted for trade by Red Sox ahead of deadline

George Springer, the designated hitter for the Toronto Blue Jays, has been linked to a potential trade with the Boston Red Sox as the MLB trade deadline approaches on August 3. With the Blue Jays struggling at 50-59 and last in the American League East, they are expected to consider moving some higher-paid players to reduce payroll. Reports suggest the Red Sox are interested in Springer, who has a limited no-trade clause. The four-time All-Star has had a difficult season, suffering injuries and not matching his performance from 2025, where he was instrumental in the Blue Jays' playoff run.
