Red Sox eye trade for Nationals' CJ Abrams to bolster lineup

The team struggled with hitting, leading to managerial changes and inconsistent performances. As the 2027 season approaches, the Red Sox aim to enhance their batting lineup, particularly if they move on from current shortstop Trevor Story, who is set to become a free agent.
