Kenley Jansen’s take on the trade deadline: The Major League Baseball trade deadline is set for Tuesday, July 30, at 6 p.m.
Exactly what Red Sox management intends to do before that remains to be seen. Boston currently sits third in A.L. East with a 53-45 record. The first post-All-Star series was a disaster for Alex Cora’s team, as Boston was swept over the weekend in Los Angeles by the Dodgers, dropping the Red Sox one game out of the final wild card spot.
Still, the trade deadline provides the final window for the Red Sox to potentially upgrade the roster.
