The Boston Red Sox aren't done making trades after their July 30 late-night addition of Steven Matz from the St. Louis Cardinals.
Starting pitching is still Boston's No. 1 priority ahead of the 6 p.m. deadline, and a first baseman surely wouldn't hurt. However, it's been reported by multiple sources that Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow is unwilling to pay the increased asking price for top-tier or multi-year talent, like Sandy Alcántara or Mitch Keller.
The Baltimore Orioles could be a one-stop shop for the rest of the Red Sox's needs. MLB insider Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic proposed a Charlie Morton-Ryan O'Hearn package for Boston, which could make sense given the market.
