Astros and Red Sox Eye Key Trades

With the MLB trade deadline approaching, the Houston Astros and Boston Red Sox are both looking to bolster their pitching rotations. The Astros, recovering from early-season struggles, need starting and relief pitchers to stay in playoff contention, with GM Dana Brown confirming they will be buyers at the deadline. The Red Sox, aiming to enhance their postseason chances, are interested in White Sox pitchers Garrett Crochet and Erick Fedde. Meanwhile, the Miami Marlins and Chicago White Sox are set to be major sellers, with players like Tanner Scott and Bryan De La Cruz drawing interest from teams like the Yankees and Cardinals. The Baltimore Orioles, leading the AL East, are also in the market for pitchers, potentially targeting Crochet to strengthen their rotation.
