Red Sox Flip Trade Deadline Stance After Record Winning Streak
Boston's 15-game winning streak transformed them from likely sellers to potential buyers, keeping Contreras, Gray, and Chapman in place.
The Red Sox entered the trade deadline conversation as probable sellers after sitting at 37-48, but a franchise-record-tying 15-game winning streak changed everything. Boston climbed to 52-48 and secured an American League playoff spot, reversing their deadline posture entirely. Veterans Willson Contreras, Sonny Gray, and Aroldis Chapman, once viewed as trade candidates, are now expected to remain and contribute to a postseason push. The team is targeting consecutive postseason appearances for the first time in several years.
