Red Sox consider trade for David Hamilton as deadline approaches
Summary

The Boston Red Sox are evaluating options at shortstop ahead of the trade deadline, with Milwaukee Brewers' David Hamilton being a potential target. Previously traded to the Brewers, Hamilton has shown he can play effectively at shortstop and has improved offensively this season. With the Brewers potentially ready to deal Hamilton due to their current roster needs, he could be a low-cost acquisition for the Red Sox, allowing them to provide an opportunity for Trevor Story to return to form. Hamilton is hitting.237 with three home runs and 19 stolen bases this season, and the Red Sox face competition for other more expensive shortstop options.
