Red Sox consider trading for Giants standout Casey Schmitt

Summary

The Boston Red Sox are exploring potential trades to improve their roster amid a competitive season in the American League. As of June 5, they are 3.5 games back from a wild-card spot. The team is particularly interested in acquiring a right-handed bat, targeting Casey Schmitt of the San Francisco Giants, who is having a breakout year with an.844 OPS and 13 home runs. Schmitt, who can play both shortstop and second base, remains under club control through 2029, which may complicate a trade. The Red Sox's willingness to take on a less favorable contract could facilitate discussions for Schmitt.
