The Boston Red Sox are exploring trade options for first baseman Willson Contreras as they struggle in the standings. Contreras is having a strong season, hitting.298 with 13 home runs and 39 RBIs. However, despite his contributions, the team remains a few games behind a playoff spot and lacks a viable path toward postseason success.
