The Boston Red Sox are pursuing a trade for Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena, who has an.872 OPS this season. As the deadline approaches, the Red Sox aim to enhance their infield following a recent 15-game win streak. ESPN's David Schoenfield suggests the deal could involve top pitching prospects Anthony Eyanson and Kyson Witherspoon, possibly including Marcelo Mayer. Pena, a former Gold Glove winner, has 11 home runs this season and is under team control through 2027. The Astros may be motivated to trade him to strengthen their pitching staff.
