Red Sox consider trading Garrett Whitlock as trade deadline approaches

The Boston Red Sox may be looking to make significant changes ahead of the 2026 MLB trade deadline, with Garrett Whitlock emerging as a potential trade candidate. Despite a challenging season, the Red Sox see opportunities for improvement and are evaluating players who do not fit into their long-term plans. Whitlock, who has two club options remaining through the 2028 season, could yield a substantial return. A proposal suggests sending Whitlock to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for third baseman Cam Collier, a promising prospect. The team's performance this season has prompted discussions about maximizing trade value for certain players.
