Red Sox News
The Boston Red Sox continue to heat up, winning their eighth series in a row after a 9-4 triumph over the Dodgers, with Ceddanne Rafaela kicking things off with a first-inning homer. This victory keeps the momentum strong, as the Sox have gone 5-2 over the last week, showcasing their offensive firepower. Meanwhile, the front office is actively exploring trade options, with a wild pursuit of Cincinnati's Elly De La Cruz and talks with the Marlins about Otto Lopez fizzling out due to Miami's high asking price. Additionally, the Sox added depth by acquiring Jahmai Jones from the Tigers, sending left-handed prospect Jojo Ingrassia in return. While the team aims to build on their recent success, the trade chatter hints at a determination to bolster the roster as they strive for postseason contention.
