Sam Kennedy: Red Sox have 'blessing from ownership' to be trade deadline buyers
Briefly

The Red Sox are contemplating being buyers before the MLB trade deadline, with ownership giving the green light for significant moves. CEO Sam Kennedy confirmed the team's readiness to add players, even with a strong financial commitment. However, he emphasized the need for improved team performance, as they currently sit at a losing record of 44-45. Kennedy noted the importance of winning series to create opportunities for trades and to strengthen their postseason aspirations despite previous controversial decisions impacting their payroll flexibility.
"Absolutely," Kennedy said when asked if the team was willing to be buyers at the trade deadline. "We have the ability to do that in terms of, you know, a blessing from ownership, and fulfilling our goal of becoming a postseason team."
"If it's a fit that helps us get to where we want to go, absolutely," Kennedy said on if ownership would be willing to make a cash commitment on a possible addition for the Red Sox at the deadline. "We have the same mindset right now that we had in November, December, January, February, and March, that led us to what we felt was a very productive and aggressive offseason."
