MLB Trade Deadline Rumors Swirl as Red Sox and Mets Look to Move Star Players

The Boston Red Sox, after trading third‑base star Rafael Devers in a deal that sent Kyle Harrison, Jeter Hicks, Braden Tibbs and Erick Bello to Boston, are being linked to a possible, though unlikely, acquisition by the New York Yankees. Analysts note that the Yankees’ interest is speculative and the long‑term contract Devers carries makes any move difficult.

Meanwhile, the New York Mets have signaled a willingness to entertain offers on most of their roster as the July deadline approaches. Reports indicate that only five players are off‑limits, while others—including shortstop Francisco Lindor, outfielders Juan Soto and Carson Benge, and pitchers Nolan McLean and Christian Scott—could be on the trade block. The Mets have already moved left‑hander David Petersen to the Chicago Cubs and are expected to field further offers on high‑value arms such as Freddy Peralta, Devin Williams and Luke Weaver.
