Red Sox consider trading Contreras as Mets show interest

The Boston Red Sox are contemplating a trade involving Willson Contreras, a top hitter with 16 home runs this season. With their postseason hopes dimming, they may be open to discussions ahead of the trade deadline. The New York Mets, seeking a first baseman after losing Pete Alonso, are identified as a potential destination. However, Contreras has full no-trade rights, complicating any potential deal. Speculation suggests he will likely remain with the Red Sox past the trade deadline, as they focus on moving impending free agents.
