Red Sox seek new shortstop amid ongoing injury concerns
Summary

The Boston Red Sox are looking to acquire a shortstop as they aim for a playoff push. This move follows a recent trade for Curtis Mead, who is expected to primarily play second base. With both Marcelo Mayer and Trevor Story on the injured list, the Red Sox's middle infield situation remains uncertain. Reports suggest the team might pursue notable names like CJ Abrams or Willy Adames to bolster their roster ahead of the trade deadline.
