📰 Read the full article: MLB's trade deadline on August 3 is approaching fast, and teams are already strategizing their moves. Here’s why this could reshape the playoff landscape. The Boston Red Sox are surging back into playoff contention and are eyeing Angels shortstop Zach Neto. This 25-year-old is a hidden gem with a WAR of 13.1 since the start of the 2024 season and is under team control until 2029. The Red Sox aim to strengthen their infield, but landing Neto won't be easy, given the Angels' reluctance to part with him. Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Reds are in last place in the NL Central and are gearing up to sell at the deadline. President of baseball operations Nick Krall hints that the team is open to moving ace Hunter Greene and utility player Spencer Steer, alongside other free agents like Eugenio Súarez and Nathaniel Lowe. Greene's contract includes a club option for 2029, making him a hot trade target. Lastly, despite disappointing performances, the Seattle Mariners remain in contention for the AL West title and are seeking a right-handed bat to bolster their lineup. They are willing to discuss trading 27-year-old right-hander Emers. The next two weeks promise to be pivotal for these teams as the trade deadline looms. #MLB rumors #Aaron Judge injury #trade deadline #sports #podcast 🏆 More MLB podcasts: 🎧 Listen to the full playlist:
