BOSTON — After two consecutive trade deadlines he found to be disappointing, Red Sox manager Alex Cora is hoping history doesn’t repeat itself for a third time.
With the Red Sox six games above .500 and in possession of the third and final American League wild card with the midpoint of their season approaching after Wednesday’s game, there’s a lot to play for in the coming weeks. With less than five weeks to go before the July 30 trade deadline, the Red Sox will likely dictate chief baseball officer Craig Breslow’s course of action with how they play in the coming stretch.
