Kevin Millar suggested on MLB Network that the Boston Red Sox should hold off on major trades leading up to the MLB trade deadline. The team sits 3.5 games out of the Wild Card playoff spot, despite a disappointing start to the season. Millar emphasized the strength of the pitching staff and noted that improvements could come from the return of players like Roman Anthony and Trevor Story later this season. The Red Sox's offensive struggles persist, ranking 25th in runs per game. With time still remaining in the season, a turnaround is possible, similar to last year’s late surge.
