## Resource

Boston Red Sox face a make-or-break decision as the trade deadline nears: reload with a playoff push or rebuild for the future. With only four teams above .500 in a weak AL, Boston’s five-game cushion looks promising—but the team’s true dilemma is whether to trade elite closer Aroldis Chapman, who’s posting a 1.99 ERA and 15 saves, for two prospects—including a top-100 talent. A deal could reshape their future, even if a World Series run now seems out of reach. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
