The Cincinnati Reds are not starting off strong and could fall out of the playoff race. The Boston Red Sox meanwhile are shaping up into contenders.
The Boston Red Sox appeared to be headed toward selling at the July 30 trade deadline but after a strong push, are shaping into American League Wild Card contenders.
While many will call for help in the rotation -- which will be heavily considered -- it might also be wise to make a less notable but still impactful trade for another high-leverage reliever. The 33-year-old has a 2.48 ERA with a 25-to-14 strikeout-to-walk ratio, .225 batting average against and a 1.26 WHIP in 32 2/3 innings this season.
