The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal revealed the Red Sox could look at multiple Baltimore Orioles players in an inter-division trade to bolster their roster at the 2025 MLB trade deadline.

The Boston Red Sox are on the brink of contention heading into the second half of the season, and a star at the trade deadline could help.

Craig Breslow just got his sign that he needs to be active at the trade deadline because the one player that could have bailed the Boston Red Sox out of a busy trade deadline just hit a setback that now puts his 2025 in jeopardy. Tanner Houck re-aggravated his right foreman injury during a rehab start.

The 40-year-old had been playing for the Seattle Mariners' Triple-A affiliate in his latest attempt to return to Major League Baseball.

All-Star Pete Crow-Armstrong hit his 26th homer, one of five solo shots for the Cubs to back seven sharp innings by Shota Imanaga, and Chicago beat the Boston Red Sox 6-0.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman is "almost certainly off the table" in trade talks, according to MLB insider Jeff Passan.

Speaking of which, you can find Thursday's supply of MLB rumors just below. The Boston Red Sox have barged back into contention and even playoff position thanks to a magma-hot July, and that's positioned them as likely buyers leading up to the deadline.
