The story so far
The Red Sox are in a position to make a significant trade before the MLB deadline. The team is reportedly the "biggest threat" to acquire a shortstop, according to an insider. The Red Sox have been on a winning streak, which has put them in contention for a playoff spot. This has increased their leverage in trade negotiations.
The Red Sox are not the only team making moves. The Angels are seeking Franklin Arias in exchange for Zach Neto. The Red Sox and Dodgers concluded their series on the eve of the trade deadline, adding to the anticipation. The Red Sox have earned the right to be aggressive in their pursuit of improvements.
The trade deadline brings uncertainty. The Red Sox's success could make them more selective in their trades. Other teams may also be looking to make last-minute moves, which could affect the Red Sox's plans. The Angels' pursuit of Arias could complicate the Red Sox's efforts to acquire a shortstop.
