The Toronto Blue Jays have had a strong season, leading the AL East with a 54-33 record since May. The Boston Red Sox have closely pursued them with a 48-37 record during the same period. MLB insider Jon Heyman noted the Red Sox's missed opportunity to trade for Sandy Alcantara, Edward Cabrera, and Joe Ryan, who could have bolstered their pitching staff. Although they acquired pitchers Steven Matz and Dustin May, securing top talent like Ryan or Alcantara could have better positioned the Red Sox for playoff success.
The Red Sox were linked to Sandy Alcantara and Edward Cabrera of the Marlins, as well as Joe Ryan of the Twins, to improve their pitching depth.
Despite efforts to acquire impactful pitchers, the Red Sox could not finalize deals for star starters who could have significantly enhanced their rotation.
