The Boston Red Sox should be aggressive at the MLB trade deadline and still have this underrated need once again.

Brayan Bello will be on the mound when the Red Sox open a three-game series with Los Angeles at Fenway Park Friday.

On Thursday night, the Red Sox found out along with everyone else that first baseman Josh Naylor was traded from the Arizona Diamondbacks to the Seattle Mariners. First base is a position the Red Sox have long hinted they could look to upgrade, and one of the few potential upgrades just went off the board.

The Red Sox were white hot prior to the All-Star Break winning ten in a row. They have won just twice in the six games since the Break, though. Currently, Boston is 6.5 games out in the American League East and possesses the league’s final wild card spot.
