Deadline Drama: Five Must-Watch Players and Teams Poised to Shake Up the MLB Trade Market

Contreras has one year and a 2028 club option remaining on his current contract, at levels that are bargains with his current rate of production. The Red Sox don’t have to trade him, but you can expect plenty of suitors as the deadline approaches.

MLB Trade Deadline Playoff Chances

Even the most bullish 2026 projections had the Sox struggling to get to 70 wins on the season. So, yeah, sitting at/near the top of the AL Central and ranking seventh in TRACR (Team Roster Adjusted for Competition and Roster) has been a bit of a Southside miracle.
