Red Sox list Willson Contreras and three others as trade assets

The Boston Red Sox are considered potential sellers ahead of the August 3 trade deadline. USA Today reports that the team may make four players available for trade, including first baseman Willson Contreras, starter Sonny Gray, closer Aroldis Chapman, and outfielder Jarren Duran. The Red Sox are having a disappointing season, and moving these assets could benefit the franchise's future. While Chapman and Duran are viewed as likely trade candidates, Gray and Contreras present complexities due to their no-trade clauses. If those players are open to waiving those clauses, the Red Sox could secure significant returns.
