The Boston Red Sox are evaluating their interest in Los Angeles Angels infielder Zach Neto as the trade deadline approaches. Neto is a target for Boston, but the Angels' asking price could be high, potentially including top prospect Franklin Arias. With three and a half years remaining on Neto’s contract, his market value increases, complicating the Red Sox's potential offering. The team may explore alternatives, considering other prospects like Marcelo Mayer or Jarren Duran while keeping Arias out of trade discussions.
- •Red Sox made an early trade, acquiring Curtis Mead from the Nationals.
- •Neto has a batting line of.234/.323/.441 this season.
- •Angels could demand Franklin Arias, Boston's top prospect, for Neto.
- •Boston may look to trade other prospects while retaining Arias.
- •Red Sox are considering Neto's fit as a designated hitter.
