Summary
The Red Sox and Nationals just pulled off a blockbuster trade before the deadline—sending pitcher Connelly Early to Washington for infielder Curtis Mead. Mead, on fire with 17 homers and 48 RBIs this season, brings much-needed offense to Boston, especially with key players sidelined. But his power may be inflated—his exit velocity doesn’t match his stats, hinting at possible regression. For the Nationals, Early offers a much-needed pitching boost: a lefty with a solid ERA and a strong arsenal, currently sidelined with elbow inflammation but expected back soon. This deal signals the deadline is heating up, with both teams making smart, future-focused moves to strengthen their rosters now.
