The Boston Red Sox apparently aimed even higher than anyone realized before the MLB trade deadline. Boston completed one blockbuster by acquiring three-time All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman from the Baltimore Orioles. But chief baseball officer Craig Breslow reportedly explored another potentially franchise-altering move before the deadline passed.
The Red Sox attempted to convince the Cincinnati Reds to trade superstar shortstop Elly De La Cruz, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale.
"The Boston Red Sox tried to convince the Cincinnati Reds to trade shortstop Elly De La Cruz, but never came close to acquiring him," Nightengale wrote Sunday.
The second half of that report matters. Cincinnati apparently never reached the point where a deal became realistic, and there is no indication Boston came close to landing De La Cruz.
