The Boston Red Sox might not be having the best season overall, but thanks to the shaky American League postseason field, it's entirely possible the 27-35 Red Sox go on a run and make the postseason.
But this team does need to add a bit of help to the roster this summer by the deadline if they seriously want to contend. Looking at their options, it's clear that a right-handed-hitting infielder would be the best option possible.
According to The Athletic's Jen McCaffrey, the Red Sox, in pursuit of such a right-handed slugger, are reportedly shopping .713 OPS veteran catcher Connor Wong in trade talks this summer already.
"With three catchers on the big-league roster - Carlos Narvaez, Connor Wong and Mickey Gasper - Boston's surplus is drawing interest," McCaffrey writes. "The Red Sox are shopping Wong in particular, according to a league source."
