The Boston Red Sox are still within striking distance of a wild card spot and could be buyers at the trade deadline. They could be in the market for a first baseman.

Alex Bregman (quadriceps), Masataka Yoshida (shoulder), Tanner Houck (elbow), Hunter Dobbins (elbow) and Justin Slaten (shoulder) are among those expected to return at some point. Would that group of players eclipse what the Red Sox could find on the open market? Bregman performed at an elite level before his injury in late May.

Boston Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman has been one of the best relievers in baseball this year, and he is now among the most likely to be traded.
