Red Sox Target Shortstop Before Deadline | Houston Astros News

Boston Red Sox are heating up before the August 3rd deadline, already adding power-hitting Curtis Mead and eyeing more talent—especially at shortstop, where injuries to Trevor Story and Marcelo Mayer leave Andruw Monasterio as the only option.
