Red Sox Sellers? Two Top Pitchers Among Most Likely to be Traded on Kalshi

Red Sox leaning towards selling

While Boston is still in position to claim a wild-card playoff spot ahead of the second half of the season, they have serious decisions to make on Chapman and Gray. Both are on expiring contracts. That said, if Boston misses the playoffs, it’s hard to see either re-signing.

In the eyes of Boston’s GM, Craig Breslow, we’d have to imagine that he’d rather gain value for both of them rather than let them walk for free.

Chapman a trade lock?

Aroldis Chapman is Boston’s most likely trade piece and one of the most in-demand players on the market ahead of the deadline. He’s one of the elite relievers in the league at a 2.20 ERA, 19 saves, and just eight runs allowed on 23 hits. At his $13 million contract with an option for 2027, Chapman is a contender's dream.

Gray’s case to stay put

Sonny Gray’s price is not a sure thing. There are more reasons for him to stay put than there are to trade him, even on an expiring deal of his own. He is undoubtedly the best pitcher on Boston’s roster. If Boston does make a run for a wildcard spot, it would lose serious pitching if it trades Gray.

He’s one of the top pitchers in the league with an 11-1 record and boasts a 2.54 ERA. Both top-5 in the league.
