Summary
The Boston Red Sox's four-game sweep of the New York Yankees has shifted the narrative around the team's trade deadline strategy. Previously expected to be sellers due to June struggles, the sweep has opened the possibility that Boston could instead become buyers before the Aug. 3 deadline, depending on their performance in the coming weeks. Insider Chris Cotillo notes the team's starting rotation dominance as a key factor in this potential strategic pivot.
