Red Sox Predicted to Trade Away 8-Time All-Star if Team's Struggles Continue
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The Boston Red Sox are 32-35 this season. They are in fourth place in the American League East and 8 1/2 games out of the division lead. They are four games back of an AL Wild Card spot. The team is not destined to be a seller before the July 31 deadline, but it will need to play better to stay in the postseason picture. If the Red Sox do not pick up the pace and start playing more consistent baseball, they may be too far out of the postseason race to justify holding on to some pending free agents. BOSTON, MA - NOVEMBER 2: Craig Breslow speaks as he is officially introduced as Chief Baseball Officer of the Boston Red Sox during a press conference on November 2, 2023 at Fenway Park in Boston,... BOSTON, MA - NOVEMBER 2: Craig Breslow speaks as he is officially introduced as Chief Baseball Officer of the Boston Red Sox during a press conference on November 2, 2023 at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts. MoreIf the team decides to sell, it will have many attractive players for contenders to target. FanSided's Zachary Rotman predicted the Red Sox would trade Aroldis Chapman if they do indeed decide to sell. "Chapman, having as good of stuff as he does and having as good of a year as he's had, would make him one of, if not the most desirable, reliever available," wrote Rotman. "The fact that he's left-handed would only add to his value. He's been great for Boston, but again, it's better for the Red Sox to get something for a player who is likely going to depart in free agency if they aren't going to be competitive down the stretch." Chapman is in his 16th season and is still hitting triple digits on the radar gun. He has 11 saves in 12 opportunities and 35 strikeouts. He would be a great addition for any team looking to bolster the backend of its bullpen. The seven-time All-Star is a two-time World Series champion, winning both after being traded midseason. His postseason experience could play a huge role in him being a hot name around the trade deadline. More MLB: Tigers Trade Urged for $33.6 Million 'Luxury Item' Shortstop by MLB Insider

Yankees' Aaron Judge says he thought about Red Sox jab before 436-foot homer
1 of 5 | New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge went 7 for 14 over his last four games, including a two-homer performance against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday in New York. File Photo by Jim Ruymen/UPI | License Photo June 9 (UPI) -- Slugger Aaron Judge said a jab aimed at the New York Yankees from the Boston Red Sox's Hunter Dobbins was on his mind just before he crushed a fastball from the right-handed pitcher for a 436-foot, first-inning homer. Judge commented on the insult and his two-run shot after the Red Sox beat the Yankees on Sunday in New York. Judge went 3 for 4 with two home runs, four RBIs, three runs scored and a walk in the 11-7 setback at Yankee Stadium. Dobbins told the Boston Herald on Saturday he would rather retire from baseball than play for the Yankees. The eighth-round pick by the Red Sox in the 2021 MLB Draft made his MLB debut in April. He grew up watching the Red Sox and said he formed "disdain for the Yankees." "My dad was a diehard Red Sox fan," Dobbins said. "And I've said it before, that if the Yankees were the last team to give me a contract, I'd retire." Judge said ESPN's Eduardo Perez told him about Dobbins' comment before Sunday's series finale. The reigning American League MVP, who leads MLB with a .396 average, came to the plate for his first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning. Yankees designated hitter Ben Rice led off the half inning with a single. Judge didn't take long to settle in for the next exchange with Dobbins. The right-handed pitcher tossed his lone offering -- a 97.5-mph fastball -- near the middle of the strike zone. Judge whipped his bat into the ball, smashing it to right center field for his 22nd homer of the season. After the game, Judge was asked if Dobbins' comments were on his mind. "Well, once somebody tells you, yeah," Judge told reporters. Judge returned to the plate for his 23rd homer of the season in the bottom of the ninth. That two-run shot to right center field traveled 398 feet. Third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., center fielder Trent Grisham and second baseman D.J. LeMahieu also drove in runs for the Yankees. Second baseman Kristian Campbell, catcher Carlos Narvaez, utility man Abraham Toro, designated hitter Rafael Devers and shortstop Trevor Story all homered for the Red Sox. Dobbins allowed four hits and three runs over five innings to improve to 3-1 this season. In addition to his batting average, Judge leads MLB with 95 hits, a .493 on-base percentage, .771 slugging percentage, 1.264 on-base plus slugging percentage and 185 total bases. He went 7 for 14 (.500) with two home runs, two doubles, three walks, four strikeouts and five RBIs over his last four games. The Yankees (39-25) lead the American League East, with a 8.5-game lead over the fourth-place Red Sox (32-35). The Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays -- both 35-30 -- sit in second place, 4.5 games behind the division leaders. The Baltimore Orioles (26-38) are in last place. The Yankees will face the Kansas City Royals (34-32) at 7:40 p.m. EDT Tuesday in Kansas City, Mo. The Red Sox will host the Rays at 7:10 p.m. Monday in Boston.
