Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora has watched his team win eight of its last 10 games, a hot streak that has them in the third wild-card spot right now ahead of the All-Star break. The Red Sox started off slow, and they were in a position many thought they would be after a new front office regime remained stoic during the offseason in terms of acquiring talent. The Red Sox could benefit from an additional right-handed power bat and starting pitching – always a premium for postseason-bound teams at the deadline. Players like starter Tanner Houck, outfielder Jarren Duran and, of course, All-Star Rafael Devers have led the Red Sox to the thick of the playoff race midway through the season. But Cora, a manager who won a World Series in Boston in 2018, wants to see his roster expand.
