While the Boston Red Sox are expected to act as trade deadline sellers this season, it's still possible for the Red Sox to add players who could help in 2027 or even 2026 at the deadline.
A good way to do so would be adding a player or two who could factor into the MLB roster right away in exchange for a veteran player. There are plenty of players who fit the bill, one of whom comes from the Chicago Cubs.
Jeff Passan and Kiley McDaniel of ESPN linked the Red Sox to Cubs infielder Matt Shaw, who they project has a 40% chance of being traded, as a potential trade fit. This would be very intriguing, and it could also be a huge help for the Red Sox.
"Matt Shaw, IF, Chicago Cubs. Chance of being traded: 40%," Passan and McDaniel write. "Best fits: Red Sox, Yankees, Rays, Royals, Brewers, Blue Jays, Giants."
