In April, the Boston Red Sox fired manager Alex Cora and were written off by most in the AL East race. Fast-forward three months, and the tide has turned. The Red Sox secured a 6-1 win over the Rays on Sunday to complete a four-game sweep of first-place Tampa Bay out of the All-Star break.

Despite those factors, chief baseball officer Craig Breslow isn’t yet willing to tip his hand when it comes to his trade strategy.
