Romy Gonzalez's return influences Red Sox's trade deadline strategy
Summary

The Boston Red Sox face a crucial decision regarding their 2026 season as they sit four games out of the AL Wild Card. Romy Gonzalez, recovering from a shoulder injury, is set to begin his rehab assignment soon, potentially returning by July. If Gonzalez can replicate his performance from 2025, the team may opt to be buyers at the trade deadline rather than sellers, impacting their strategy for the upcoming season. The Red Sox have seen limited success at home this season, making Gonzalez's return even more pressing as they look to improve their standing.
