## Resource

Red Sox and Nationals pull off a last-minute trade before the deadline: Boston sends lefty rookie Connelly Early, sidelined with elbow inflammation but showing solid stuff (3.44 ERA, 9+ K/9), to Washington in exchange for versatile infielder Curtis Mead — a top-15% hitter with a .254 average and .500+ slugging percentage. Mead, traded three times before, can play three positions. Early’s return timeline is uncertain, but he threw a bullpen session Friday. The deal’s not official yet, but fans are buzzing.
