Red Sox ownership involved in trade talks for right-handed hitters

The Boston Red Sox are reportedly struggling at 27-36 this season, prompting ownership to engage in trade discussions for right-handed hitters. ESPN's Buster Olney noted that an owner from the Red Sox ownership group is making calls to facilitate a trade. The team prioritizes finding a right-handed slugger to improve its hitting line-up, particularly in the infield positions. However, sourcing players is complicated as many teams are reluctant to trade key assets at this juncture of the season, as they still envision playoff potential.
