Red Sox pursue right-handed hitters ahead of trade deadline

The Boston Red Sox are actively seeking to acquire right-handed hitters ahead of the MLB trade deadline while sitting at 25-34 this season. With the team struggling offensively and eight games behind in the American League East, they are looking to bolster their lineup with righty sluggers. ESPN's Buster Olney reported that the Red Sox may even consider taking on undesirable contracts to secure an upgrade. Potential targets include Isaac Paredes, Matt Chapman, and Gleyber Torres. Despite their current record, the Red Sox aim to remain competitive and push for a Wild Card spot in the postseason.
