Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow vowed in mid-June after the Rafael Devers trade that he would still bolster the team at the deadline. Now it’s crunch time, and despite a 2-5 record with a tough schedule coming out of the All-Star break, another commanding win Saturday gave Breslow more reason to fortify the club.

Trade predictions are flying all over the place with the deadline approaching. One former general manager believes this three-team trade could benefit everyone.

The Boston Red Sox of late have flipped their script. After dealing away their best hitter, Rafael Devers, in a puzzling June blockbuster, the Sox bumbled to a 3-7 mark in the days immediately following the trade.

The Sox throttled Cubs ace Shota Imanaga and homered four times to grab their sixth win in seven games, a stretch in which they've scored 61 runs.

The Boston Red Sox are named by MLB insiders as a potential landing spot for former aces Sandy Alcantara and Zac Gallen at the trade deadline.

Marcelo Mayer's injury is leading to a lot of moving parts for the Red Sox. It could also impact how Craig Breslow approaches next week's trade deadline.
