## Resource

The Red Sox just pulled off a bold trade, sending pitcher Connelly Early to the Nationals for infielder Curtis Mead — a 25-year-old power hitter with 17 homers and a solid OPS. While some question if Boston overpaid, GM Alex Cora’s focus is clear: make the big league roster better now. With eyes on right-handed hitting shortstops like CJ Abrams, Jeremy Peña, and Zach Neto, Boston’s trade deadline push is serious. Rumors swirl around a potential deal for Neto, possibly involving top prospect Franklin Arias — a breakout Double-A hitter. The question remains: is giving up Arias worth the power and control Neto offers? If the price stays high, Boston may pivot — or even revisit Trevor Story.
