Summary
Red Sox just pulled in Curtis Mead from the Nationals, and interim manager Chad Tracy’s got him penciled in at second base to start — while keeping Caleb Durbin firmly at third. Both players are versatile, with Durbin comfortable at short and second, and Mead ready to play anywhere but short. Durbin’s been crushing it at third lately, and Mead’s bat is already a force — 25-4 with 17 homers and 48 RBIs. With the Sox on a hot streak and playoff push in full swing, this move is all about adding firepower and flexibility. Tracy’s confident in the setup — and ready to tweak it if the season demands it.
