## Resource

The Red Sox are on fire—winning nine straight and fourteen of their last sixteen—forcing a dramatic shift in strategy as the trade deadline looms. With this unexpected surge, veterans like Chapman and Gray are now must-keep pieces, not trade assets. Management must now choose: stick to the sell-off plan or pivot into buyer mode to capitalize on momentum. Key needs include a healthy middle infielder, a reliable starting pitcher, and bullpen reinforcements. Targets like Peña, Chapman, Wacha, and Ryan are in the mix, but injuries and past moves complicate things. The clock is ticking—this window could define whether Boston embraces a bold, win-now push or reverts to a risky rebuild.
