Summary
The Boston Red Sox just pulled off a blockbuster trade deadline move, acquiring power-hitting infielder Curtis Mead from the Washington Nationals in exchange for pitcher Connelly Early. After a stunning 25-7 run that catapulted them into the wild-card race, the Red Sox are doubling down on their momentum, upgrading their lineup with Mead’s 17 homers and 48 RBIs. General manager Craig Breslow called it a necessary leap of faith — even though letting go of Early stung, Mead’s bat was the bigger need. With Mead expected to anchor second base and confidence in their pitching staff, this trade signals Boston’s serious push for the playoffs. The deadline’s not over — but they’re already showing they’re ready to compete. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
