The Boston Red Sox have not met expectations so far, but are still in a position to make the postseason. They should be getting Alex Bregman back soon.

For starters, the Red Sox did not do right by Devers by failing to communicate that they were targeting Alex Bregman to play the position he'd patrolled -- albeit underwhelmingly on defense -- throughout his Red Sox tenure. As the team's highest-paid player, he was at least owed that conversation.

The Philadelphia Phillies are shopping for upgrades at the trade deadline, and Boston's Jarren Duran could fill their hole in the outfield.

Red Sox first base/outfield prospect James Tibbs III hit his first home run since being acquired from the Giants as part of last month’s blockbuster Rafael Devers trade in Double-A Portland’s series finale against New Hampshire on Sunday afternoon.

Sam Kennedy said that the Red Sox are willing to make a big investment, but won't say what direction the team will take at the trade deadline.
