On the final day of Winter Meetings, Breslow swung the Garrett Crochet trade, sending the club’s two most recent first-rounders at the time in catcher Kyle Teel and outfielder Braden Montgomery, both top 100 prospects, to Chicago as part of a four-player package for Crochet. It marked a deal that’s shaped their 2025 season in many ways.

The Boston Red Sox seem bound to make a blockbuster move in the offseason, but they would need to cut ties with a top prospect or two in the process.

T he Boston Red Sox didn't do a whole lot at the MLB trade deadline. Adding pitcher Dustin May from the Los Angeles Dodgers was their splashiest move, but that didn't satiate fans' craving for multiple impact players to help the Sox continue an unlikely run to the AL East crown.

It sounds like the Boston Red Sox are setting themselves up for a potential late-season call up to help bolster the bullpen down the stretch. Boston's bullpen already has been a weapon for the organization this season.

The Red Sox leave the trade deadline in the first Wild Card spot, riding a five-game win streak and, most importantly, sitting above the Yankees in the division
