Red Sox seek shortstop as trade deadline approaches

The Boston Red Sox are eyeing potential improvements at shortstop ahead of the trade deadline. Currently holding a 58-51 record, the team recently ended a successful month that included a 15-game winning streak. Despite injuries to key players like Garrett Crochet and Trevor Story, the Red Sox have thrived with strong pitching but face lineup gaps, particularly at shortstop. General manager Craig Breslow is reportedly interested in acquiring Zach Neto from the Angels or Otto Lopez from the Marlins, both of whom could bolster the lineup significantly. The team aims to strengthen its position in the American League Wild Card race.
