MLB Notebook: What will it look like if the Red Sox are sellers at trade deadline?

11 hours ago | masslive.com | Sean McAdam

It goes without saying that this was not how the Red Sox envisioned the 2025 season unfolding. After showing a renewed aggressiveness last offseason in the free agent market (Alex Bregman, Aroldis Chapman, Walker Buehler and Justin Wilson) and trade market (Garrett Crochet), the Sox pushed past the first CBT (competitive balance tax) threshold for the first time in several years. And what hasn’t it gotten them?

Red Sox’ Alex Cora bares his frustration, but runs out of answers | Sean McAdam

2 days ago | masslive.com | Sean McAdam

BOSTON — On the surface, this one was achingly familiar. Another night in which the Red Sox didn’t take advantage (1-for-13 with runners in scoring position) of their opportunities. Another night in which they were sloppy in the field, committing three errors and what should have been a fourth. Another night in which the fundamentals (an errant cutoff throw) were again missing. And, of course, another one-run loss.

Despite Jarren Duran trade rumors, Red Sox and Padres an unlikely match

BOSTON — The San Diego Padres have a major hole in left field that they would like to fill and Padres GM A.J. Preller has long coveted Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran. The Red Sox, meanwhile, do not currently have an obvious spot into which they could integrate prized outfielder Roman Anthony, the No. 1 prospect in the game. Wouldn’t a deal between the teams make sense? Yes and no.

Red Sox, try as they might, can’t seem to grasp any momentum | Sean McAdam

BOSTON — From the very beginning of the season, the Red Sox handled momentum about as well as a slippery bar of soap. Just when you think they have a hold of it, they fumble it away. Over the weekend, they took two-of-three in Atlanta from the Braves and arrived home for a brief three-game homestand against the thoroughly mediocre Los Angeles Angels. Within minutes, however, the Red Sox found themselves behind with yet another leadoff homer allowed.
Red Sox to abandon Kristian Campbell experiment at first base

3 days ago | masslive.com | Sean McAdam

BOSTON — On their last homestand, the Red Sox were moving forward with their plans to have Kristian Campbell be part of the solution to their first base vacancy. As recently as late last week, they got as far as identifying a game (Sunday in Atlanta) for Campbell’s debut at the position before changing that plan Sunday morning thanks to Abraham Toro’s recent hot streak.
Some Things I Think I Think: Red Sox’ managerial seat not hot enough for a change

*Red Sox’ chief baseball officer Craig Breslow gave Alex Cora a vote of confidence Saturday in Atlanta, but really, that was just a confirmation of the obvious: Cora, for any number of reasons, isn’t going anywhere. Let’s start with his contract, which was agreed to last July and kicked in at the start of this season. If the Red Sox terminated him now, they’d owe him about $20 million.
