With the trade deadline fast approaching, the Red Sox are doing some homework on two of the top notable starting pitchers who could be moved before the end of July.
The Red Sox have sent scouts to watch Diamondbacks starting pitchers Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly ahead of their upcoming starts in Arizona, USA Today‘s Bob Nightengale reported Sunday. The Yankees have also reportedly sent scouts to Arizona to focus on those two pitchers, along with Diamondbacks All-Star third baseman Eugenio Suarez.
Kelly is scheduled to start against the Cardinals on Sunday, while Gallen is slated to start the Diamonbacks’ game against the Astros on Monday.
