The Boston Red Sox are finally on the board at the 2025 MLB trade deadline. According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, the Red Sox are acquiring left-hander Steven Matz from the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for top-20 prospect first baseman Blaze Jordan.

The Red Sox are maintaining a defiant stance that the players they have — the ones who have gotten them this far — are good enough.

On the even of the MLB trade deadline, Jhoan’s name came up frequently and was connected to several teams including the Red Sox. While Boston already has closer Aroldis Chapman in its bullpen, adding another arm in the bullpen to bolster it would benefit the club looking to make a legitimate postseason push.
