Red Sox prepare to leverage trade deadline with 11 potential assets

The Boston Red Sox are positioned to be major players at the MLB trade deadline, set for August 3. Currently last in the AL East at 30-43, they could act as sellers, leveraging 11 potential trade assets including Aroldis Chapman, Sonny Gray, and Jarren Duran. The team's struggles this season have prompted speculation about substantial roster changes, and several players could attract interest from contenders. Aroldis Chapman, in particular, noted for his club control, could yield significant returns. The Red Sox's front office aims to capitalize on these assets if they decide to move forward with trades.
