Red Sox consider acquiring Matt Chapman from Giants before deadline
Summary

The Boston Red Sox are exploring options to bolster their roster ahead of the trade deadline. Currently 5.5 games out of a wild card spot, the team is looking to salvage its season, but some reports suggest a focus on future planning as well. Rumors suggest that the San Francisco Giants may be open to trading Matt Chapman, who has four years remaining on a six-year, $151 million contract. He is hitting.261 with seven home runs this season. Chapman could fill a third base vacancy and enhance the team's offense, providing a potential power bat and defensive upgrade.
