The Boston Red Sox could pursue this five-player blockbuster trade to replenish their roster ahead of the playoffs.

The Boston Red Sox could be in the market for a new first baseman at the trade deadline. While their platoon at first base has not been terrible, they could still benefit from an upgrade.

Fitts (4.28 ERA, 5.19 FIP) has had his moments in his first full campaign as a starting pitcher for Boston, and sacrificing him would seriously strain this starting rotation. The Red Sox would have to rely on either bullpen games or Tanner Houck, who is still not back from the injured list, to erase the absence.
