Red Sox seek pitching depth as trade deadline approaches
Summary

The Boston Red Sox are actively pursuing additional pitching help ahead of the trade deadline. Reports indicate the team is considering both starting pitchers and relievers, as rookie starters Jake Bennett and Payton Tolle have already exceeded their career-high innings. Additionally, Garrett Crochet's long recovery from a shoulder injury has left uncertainty in the rotation. Despite a strong group led by Sonny Gray, the Red Sox are identifying options such as Casey Mize, Freddy Peralta, and Robbie Ray to bolster their staff. With the trade market favorable, further moves could enhance the team's postseason readiness with the deadline approaching.
