Red Sox consider trade deadline strategy amidst recent winning streak

The Boston Red Sox are reevaluating their approach as the July trade deadline approaches. Recently, the team has surged, achieving nine wins in their last nine games, including a decisive victory against the New York Mets, where they scored 17 runs. This performance contrasts earlier struggles, prompting Chief Baseball Operator Craig Breslow to ponder whether to sell at the deadline or pursue reinforcements. Key players like Aroldis Chapman and Sonny Gray, initially seen as trade candidates, could remain if the team shifts to a buying mentality. The Red Sox are in need of a healthy middle infielder and bullpen support as they move forward this summer.
