The Boston Red Sox are looking to make some big moves at the MLB trade deadline. The real question will be who the Red Sox think will help contribute to their turnaround season.
Although they are division rivals, the Toronto Blue Jays are sitting in last place with a 14.5-game deficit in the AL East. Coming off a World Series run in 2025, selling may be in Toronto’s best interest.
The Red Sox have emerged as a potential trade destination for Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer. Although the 36-year-old has a no-trade clause in his contract, he is reportedly open to waiving it for a move to Boston.
“George Springer could be moved as well, though his limited no-trade clause allows him to block deals to certain clubs,” wrote CBS Sports’ Julian McWilliams. “One destination that interests Springer, according to a source familiar with his thinking, is Boston.”
“The fit makes sense. Boston is looking for right-handed power, while Springer, a Connecticut native who grew up a Red Sox fan, has long enjoyed hitting at Fenway Park,” the insider added.
