Summary
Boston Red Sox pull off a surprise late-night trade, acquiring power-hitting utility infielder Curtis Mead from the Nationals in exchange for sidelined rookie pitcher Connelly Early. Mead, 25, brings a .250 batting average, 17 homers, and a solid .852 OPS, offering immediate offensive punch despite average defense. Early, a promising lefty with a 3.44 ERA, is expected back in August. The move signals Red Sox’s focus on offense and may delay any pursuit of big-name shortstops like Bobby Witt Jr. until next offseason.
