Angels Push for Arias as Neto Trade Talks Heat Up

The Angels are reportedly pushing to center a Zach Neto trade around Franklin Arias, Boston’s top prospect, in talks with the Red Sox. Arias, a 20-year-old who just reached Triple-A, has plus defense and big power and is viewed as a potential cornerstone, making the Sox’s ask steep. Neto is controllable for about 3.5 seasons and has 19 homers this year with a strong walk rate, but mixed defensive metrics and interest from other clubs (including the Rays) suggest the trade could involve more than a single offer. Boston has been seeking a shortstop bridge (Trevor Story rehabbing, Marcelo Mayer injury), and has reportedly balked at including Arias in deals, signaling this could be a protracted, multi-team negotiation rather than an imminent swap. The Angels may pivot to other assets if talks stall, keeping the situation fluid through to Monday and beyond.

Red Sox Reportedly Offer Big Package for Elly De La Cruz as Reds Stand Pat

The Red Sox reportedly offered a prospect-heavy package for Elly De La Cruz, but the Reds rejected it, preferring MLB-ready players and an even bigger overpay. De La Cruz, a 24-year-old two-time All-Star, is arbitration-eligible this winter and under team control through 2029, making a blockbuster deal unlikely but still plausible in a market hungry for star shortstops.

Red Sox Prospects in Play Ahead of MLB Deadline

As the MLB trade deadline approaches, the Red Sox could use a mix of top prospects and Rule 5 chips. Franklin Arias remains the near-untouchable centerpiece, with Anthony Eyanson as the top pitching asset. Other potential levers include Kyson Witherspoon, Justin Gonzales, Enddy Azocar, Franklin Primera, and Henry Godbout, plus Rule 5 candidates Johanfran Garcia, Blake Wehunt, Mikey Romero, and Brooks Brannon. The system is thinner than in recent years, but the Globe notes big deals could still happen, potentially involving Mayer or Duran in a larger swap; near-contending teams mean a range of small to blockbuster trades are plausible.
