Red Sox consider trading Willson Contreras amid playoff struggles
Summary

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. Reports suggest that Contreras could fetch a substantial return in a trade given his performance and contract status through 2028. Boston's management is likely looking to reset their roster and long-term strategy in light of recent struggles.
