Red Sox targeting right-handed hitters ahead of trade deadline

The Boston Red Sox are actively seeking to enhance their offense as the MLB trade deadline approaches. Currently last in the American League East at 25-34, the team struggles offensively, ranking 25th in runs per game and 29th in home runs. Buster Olney reports that the Red Sox are particularly focused on acquiring a right-handed hitter and may consider taking on unfavorable contracts to secure one. The urgency stems from the team's lack of production from right-handed batters, especially following the offseason loss of Alex Bregman and with Trevor Story sidelined until after the All-Star break.
