Red Sox Trade Deadline 2026: Latest News, Rumors, Deals on Deadline Day originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The big question for Red Sox fans ahead of Monday's trade deadline: Will chief baseball officer Craig Breslow make a significant move or let the hottest team in Major League Baseball keep rolling?
After its 15-game winning streak was snapped last month, Boston hasn't lost any momentum. The Red Sox have won eight of their last 10 games, including a sweep of the Dodgers over the weekend, and they are now just five games behind the Rays in the AL East standings.
With only hours to go until the trade deadline, Breslow and the rest of the front office must determine whether it makes sense for Boston to pull the trigger on a deal involving a superstar or work on the margins.
Here are the latest rumors surrounding the Red Sox as the trade deadline approaches.
