Red Sox eye Brooks Raley as trade deadline approaches

Summary

As the Aug. 3 MLB trade deadline nears, Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow is considering adding New York Mets reliever Brooks Raley to bolster the bullpen. Raley has consistently posted strong ERAs, including 2.09 this season. The Red Sox recently traded Connelly Early to the Nationals for infielder Curtis Mead, signaling their commitment to contending. With a 3.05 ERA, the bullpen has contributed to the team's success, winning 17 of their last 19 games. Raley, eligible for free agency after this season, could be a cost-effective addition for Boston’s late-inning needs.
