Red Sox Eye Bold Deadline Push to Bolster Offense

Boston signals a bold deadline push to upgrade its offense as it fights for a playoff berth, with ESPN’s Jeff Passan saying the team is “going big” and weighing options from Otto Lopez to bigger targets like Zach Neto, Jeremy Pena, or CJ Abrams (Bobby Witt Jr. would be a huge haul). Curtis Mead’s expected return in 6–8 weeks could help, while Tyron Guerrero’s rapid improvement in the bullpen adds depth as Boston weighs its best path to contention.
