## Resource

The Boston Red Sox just pulled off a spicy trade deadline move, acquiring power-hitting Aussie infielder Curtis Mead from the Washington Nationals in exchange for injured lefty Connelly Early. Mead, 25, is crushing it with 17 homers and 48 RBIs, filling a critical right-handed bat void as Boston battles injuries and holds onto the AL wild card. Early, 24, is sidelined with elbow trouble and was just pitching against the Nationals last month—adding a spicy twist to the deal. With both teams chasing postseason spots, this swap could reshape their playoff hopes. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
