Red Sox Trade Pitcher for Power Hitter | Boston Red Sox News
Description
The Red Sox pulled off a gutsy trade, sending solid pitcher Connelly Early to the Nationals in exchange for power-hitting infielder Curtis Mead — a move that, while painful to make, aims to inject much-needed offense into their lineup. Early, with a 3.44 ERA and 93 strikeouts, was a reliable arm, but the Sox prioritized controllable offense over pitching depth. Mead, hitting 17 homers and driving in 48 runs, could be a game-changer — ranking second on the team in homers. This bold move underscores the Red Sox’s commitment to balancing their roster and addressing key weaknesses this season.
