The MLB Trade Deadline is approaching quickly as the standings begin to take shape. It looks like the Boston Red Sox are set to be sellers at the deadline. Currently, they are sitting at 29-40 and 13.5 games out of first place in the AL East. They also find themselves ninth in the wild card race, five games back. While they could get back into that race, they have shown no signs of that happening, losing five of their past seven games.
A team that is locked in as buyers is the Atlanta Braves. The Braves have the best record in baseball, but are coming off back-to-back series losses, and sent both Ronald Acuna Jr and Spencer Strider to the IL this weekend. They have a lot of holes to fill for a team that has been so good this season.
Red Sox starting pitcher Sonny Gray is a major trade chip for Boston and could be a major help for Atlanta. This is a deal that we could see getting done.
