Red Sox Target Shortstop Before Deadline | Houston Astros News

Boston Red Sox are heating up before the August 3rd deadline, already adding power-hitting Curtis Mead and eyeing more talent—especially at shortstop, where injuries to Trevor Story and Marcelo Mayer leave Andruw Monasterio as the only option. With a 54-50 record and four games over .500, the Sox are competitive but need a big bat to lock down playoff contention. Rumors swirl around Jeremy Peña and Zach Neto, though Peña seems unlikely, leaving the front office to focus elsewhere. Keep watching—this could be a pivotal week for Boston’s postseason push.
