## Resource

The Red Sox are suddenly in the Wild Card race, forcing a dramatic shift in their trade deadline strategy—once sellers after firing their manager, they’re now weighing whether to hang onto key players like Contreras and Gray, risking morale for future flexibility. Meanwhile, the Cubs, also in contention despite not winning their division, desperately need starting pitching reinforcements as key arms sit out or head to the bullpen. A reporter’s viral, unprofessional jab at the Cubs’ front office—calling them “twinkle dee” and “twinkle dum”—only adds to the chaos. And in a bizarre twist, top prospect Paul Skenes was caught in a rumor linking him to the Yankees, which he handled with calm humor, turning a media frenzy into a non-story.
