The Boston Red Sox ripped off a 15-game win streak, tying a franchise record, before losing Game 2 of a doubleheader on Wednesday.
Regardless, their 15-1 run has them at 52-49 and in wild-card position. The win streak has saved the season, because if they had waited another week or so to heat up, they may have been sellers at the deadline. Instead, they are now expected to fill their needs at the deadline and set themselves up for a run.
"The Red Sox look to be headed for the buyer’s lane in light of their recent surge, which has been one of the best in team history," wrote MLB.com's Ian Browne on Thursday. "Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow is in the market for a bat. The question is: What position will that bat play? Catcher, middle infield and DH seem to be the best fits lineup-wise."
If Breslow wants a bat like Browne suggests, he could have his pick. Plenty of star hitters could be on the move this year, and the Red Sox have pieces to give up if they need to. Adding a middle infielder like Luis Arraez could be great for the Red Sox considering Marcelo Mayer's injury and woes at the plate.
