The Boston Red Sox are 2.5 games out of the final American League wild-card spot, but the front office didn't jump at many opportunities to improve the team ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline.
"We like where our arrow is pointing," Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom told reporters. "And hopefully we can do some special things the rest of the way and I'm confident we'll be able to continue to keep building on this next year and beyond."
Christopher Smith of Mass Live noted Boston made just one trade, landing infielder Luis Urías from the Milwaukee Brewers for pitching prospect Bradley Blalock.
