Red Sox 13-Game Streak Flips Their Trade Deadline Stance
Boston's longest winning streak since 1948 has transformed the club from obvious sellers into legitimate buyers as the August 3 deadline approaches.
The Red Sox have reeled off 13 consecutive wins, their longest streak in over 75 years. The hot run has dramatically changed how the front office is likely to approach the August 3 trade deadline. Boston, previously expected to sell off veterans, is now being discussed as a potential buyer. The shift in competitive outlook makes their deadline activity a meaningful variable for roster and game projections.
