Red Sox consider acquiring catcher Hunter Goodman in trade proposal

As the trade deadline approaches, the Boston Red Sox are weighing their options as buyers after a 13-game win streak has placed them in the American League Wild Card spot. The Athletic’s Jim Bowden has suggested a potential trade that would send catcher Hunter Goodman from the Rockies to Boston in exchange for pitchers Connelly Early and Kyson Witherspoon, shortstop Marcelo Mayer, and catcher Carlos Narváez. Goodman has hit 30 home runs this season and could address Boston's offensive needs. Meanwhile, both Early and Mayer are currently on the injured list, affecting their trade value. Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow is expected to provide more clarity on the team's direction in the coming days.
