The 2026 Boston Red Sox have not had a good year whatsoever. Alex Cora has been fired, Roman Anthony and Garrett Crochet have missed most of the season, and not much has gone right overall.
Now, under a month to go until the MLB trade deadline, the Red Sox are likely to act as sellers. If and when they do, the Red Sox will have some interesting decisions to make.
But one thing they should have no questions over is what to do with Aroldis Chapman. ESPN's Jeff Passan and Kiley McDaniel gave the Red Sox a 90% chance to trade Chapman this summer, and it's an update that should surprise no Red Sox fans this year.
"10. Aroldis Chapman, LHP, Boston Red Sox. Chance of being traded: 90%," Passan and McDaniel write. "... Here's the greatest truism of the deadline: Everyone needs a good reliever. Teams will climb over each other for Chapman."
