## Resource

The Boston Red Sox just pulled off a big move, acquiring power-hitting infielder Curtis Mead from the Nationals in exchange for lefty Connelly Early. Mead’s been tearing it up this season with 17 homers and 48 RBIs, and his .254 batting average, high OBP, and .500 slugging percentage make him a serious offensive threat. With the Red Sox sitting at 53-50 and seven and a half games behind Tampa Bay, this trade is all about giving them a spark in the Wild Card race. Mead’s versatility across infield spots adds depth, while Tsung-Che Cheng heads back to Triple-A Worcester. At just 25, Mead’s bat could be the key to Boston’s postseason push.
