Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow has highlighted the need for impactful starting pitching ahead of the MLB trade deadline, but is hesitant to make substantial investments. The team has been connected to top pitchers like Joe Ryan, yet acquiring such talent may require valuable prospects. ESPN’s Jeff Passan noted the Red Sox are not inclined to pursue major transactions, a stance that may indicate confidence in their current roster. With a challenging position in the standings, the Red Sox should consider reinforcing their lineup to become serious playoff contenders.
According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, Breslow isn't currently motivated to make that kind of bold move. At this moment, the Red Sox are not inclined to engage in any large-scale deadline moves.
If Passan's assessment is accurate, that would be a major disappointment. Boston cannot afford another tepid approach at the trade deadline.
The Red Sox (54-49) entered Wednesday six games back in the American League East standings but holding the third Wild Card spot.
Acquiring an 'impact' starting pitcher with one or two complementary pieces could transform this club from a fringe playoff team into a strong contender.
