If so, the club the Red Sox should have their eyes on right now is the Texas Rangers and specifically Jacob deGrom. The Red Sox Should Be All Over Jacob deGromAug 1, 2026; Houston, Texas, USA; Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob Degrom (48) delivers a pitch during the second inning against the Houston Astros at Daikin Park. "The Rangers could make Corey Seager or Jacob deGrom available, though deGrom's no-trade clause would complicate matters with the deadline rapidly approaching," Passan wrote. In a perfect world, the Red Sox will get Crochet back this season down the stretch. But even if the Red Sox don't get Crochet back, deGrom is someone who could elevate this already elite rotation.
