The Boston Red Sox were lucky to get ahead of the trade deadline market with their July 25 acquisition of Curtis Mead from the Washington Nationals. But un-luckily, he was hit by a pitch that fractured his wrist in his Red Sox debut. Now, the Red Sox are essentially back at square one — they need to replace the production they lost with another trade deadline addition. Curtis Mead doesn't need season-ending wrist surgery, but his injury still means Red Sox need more offensive helpThe pool of available players has only thinned since the Red Sox's Mead trade. While the Red Sox avoided the worst for Mead, they ended up trading Connelly Early for someone who is now unable to help the playoff push.
