The Boston Red Sox made their first move ahead of the Major League Baseball trade deadline, bringing veteran pitcher Steven Matz.

For the first time since 2021, the Red Sox will arrive at the trade deadline in possession of one of the American League’s six postseason spots. Now, Craig Breslow has a chance to bolster the roster for a playoff push, with the Sox winning 17 of their last 25 games to make a strong case for October baseball.

The Red Sox (59-51) fortified their bullpen in their attempt to make the playoffs for the first time since 2021. They own the second wild card spot and sit in third in the AL East. Boston could still use a starting pitcher and first baseman to bolster an intriguing roster.
