It’s no secret to us as fans or to those in the industry what the Red Sox are looking for just over 48 hours away from the trade deadline. They’ve already filled the hole at the back of their rotation with the Andrew Cashner trade, but they still have another that needs to be addressed. There was some chance of them standing pat or even selling, but that talk has gone out the window after their 5-2 week against the Rays and Yankees. It’s full steam ahead now and they are locked into an intense, highly competitive wildcard race.
