The Red Sox are red-hot entering the All-Star break.
After completing a four-game sweep of the Rays on Sunday, the Red Sox are now in the midst of a 10-game win streak — which marks the franchise’s longest since winning 10 straight from July 2-12, 2018.
Boston now sits at a season-best eight games over .500 at 53-45, and are just three games back of the Blue Jays for first place in the AL East. FanGraphs now has Boston with a 55.8 percent shot at making the postseason for the first time since 2021.
Once viewed as potential sellers ahead of the July 31 trade deadline due to their inconsistent play, the Red Sox may now shift gears and become one of the more aggressive teams before said deadline, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
