Red Sox Eye Aggressive Deadline as Passan Foresees Buy-Mode

Boston’s 52-48 record and a six-game win streak have the Red Sox in buy mode ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline. ESPN’s Jeff Passan predicted the Sox will be aggressive and even highlighted Angels shortstop Zach Neto as a potential target, a bat with power who could spark the middle of the lineup. Neto’s 20+ home runs in three straight seasons and 69 runs scored are appealing, but his high strikeouts and 14 errors are drawbacks. With Tsung-Che Cheng not offering power, Boston could pursue a true shortstop upgrade or another impactful right-hander; a blockbuster-like move remains to be seen, but a power-focused addition could bolster their playoff push.

Skubal Could Be Mariners' Big Deadline Upgrade

ESPN insider Jeff Passan argues Tarik Skubal, a two-time Cy Young winner, would be a strong trade target for the Seattle Mariners at the MLB deadline to boost a rotation that already features six solid starters and prized pitching prospects; Skubal’s elbow surgery recovery has him nearing a rehab assignment, and Detroit may be open to moving him as he heads to free agency after the season, potentially in a deal that could involve exchanging a current starter, with Passan also noting other fit options like Rico Garcia and Jo Adell.

Phillies Consider Trading Alec Bohm After Playoff Exit

Philadelphia Phillies' third baseman Alec Bohm is reportedly on the trade block, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan. Despite a strong start to the 2024 season, Bohm's performance declined in the latter half, and his emotional outbursts have been a concern for the team. The Phillies, looking to revamp their roster after an early postseason exit, may consider trading Bohm, although his future with the team remains uncertain.

Seattle Mariners' 2023 Season: Confusing, Critical, and Salvaged.

ESPN MLB insider Jeff Passan expressed confusion as to why the Seattle Mariners are not performing better this season, despite their recent success. The Mariners have struggled to maintain a winning record and are currently four games out of the third and final spot in the American League wild card race. It is unclear whether the team will buy, sell, or do a bit of both at the upcoming trade deadline. Passan suggested that the Mariners may need to trade outfielder Teoscar Hernández, who is a pending free agent, to take advantage of the market and improve the team elsewhere.
