The Boston Red Sox are set to pursue a right-handed hitter before the trade deadline after acquiring Curtis Mead from the Washington Nationals. Following a successful 15-game win streak, the team is looking to enhance their offense by targeting players like Zach Neto of the Los Angeles Angels and Jeremy Pena of the Houston Astros. Predictions suggest that with their depth in pitching prospects, the Red Sox are well-positioned to make a significant trade. With Mead and Caleb Durbin anticipated to fill in at second and third base, a right-handed slugger could further strengthen their lineup for a postseason push.
