Red Sox continue winning streak, poised for trade deadline moves

The Boston Red Sox have extended their winning streak to nine games, sweeping the Los Angeles Angels, Chicago White Sox, and New York Mets. Following a challenging start to their season and the firing of manager Alex Cora, the team has registered a 36-31 record since the change, putting them within a half-game of the third AL wild-card spot. The upcoming trade deadline presents an opportunity for the Red Sox to bolster their lineup, potentially as buyers given their recent performance and the need for additional offensive support. Series against the Rays, Orioles, Blue Jays, Athletics, and Dodgers before the trade deadline could further shape their strategy.
