With Major League Baseball’s July 30 trade deadline quickly approaching, the Red Sox find themselves in an ideal spot.
They’ve exceeded expectations to this point and are currently tied for first in the American League East with the Tampa Bay Rays. Despite their success, however, manager Alex Cora reiterated that there’s always room for improvement – whether that’s making adjustments with what they have or bringing in someone new.
At the same time, Cora is extremely pleased with the consistency of the club and the way the Red Sox have played this season. He hopes people focus on the big picture and understand that they’re in the hunt and have a team that can contend.
