## Resource

The Red Sox could be headed for a trade deadline sell-off after suspending All-Star first baseman Willson Contreras for seven games — a major blow to their offense. Contreras has been a key spark plug this season, and his absence, combined with the team’s overall struggles, is forcing front office to rethink their strategy. If they sell, pitchers Sonny Gray and Aroldis Chapman — both still valuable — could fetch top-tier offensive talent. But there’s still a sliver of hope: if they win big in their final three series before the All-Star break, they might still be buyers. Otherwise, it’s likely curtains on playoff dreams and full-on selling mode.
