## Resource

The Red Sox pulled off a surprising trade, sending promising pitcher Connelly Early to the Nationals for infielder Curtis Mead — a move that makes sense when you consider Early’s elbow injury and Boston’s deep pitching depth. Mead, a breakout hitter with 17 homers and a stellar on-base rate, brings immediate offensive firepower the Red Sox desperately needed. At 25, Mead’s proven improvement signals a rare gem — and Boston is betting big that he’ll transform their lineup now and for years to come.
