The Boston Red Sox are reportedly interested in trading for Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto, viewing him as a strong fit for their roster. With a.771 OPS this season, Neto has emerged as a potential asset as the Red Sox seek to bolster their middle infield ahead of the August 3 trade deadline.
