The 2023 MLB trade deadline has passed and the Red Sox stayed quiet. Meanwhile, their American League competitors loaded up on talent for a playoff push.
All three of the American League teams currently holding wild-card spots added talent for a postseason push. The Tampa Bay Rays added former Cleveland Guardians starter Aaron Civale, who boasts a 2.34 ERA in 13 outings this season. The Houston Astros brought back reigning Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander in a deal with the New York Mets. The Toronto Blue Jays acquired reliever Jordan Hicks and shortstop Paul DeJong in separate trades with the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Los Angeles Angels, only a half-game behind Boston in the AL wild-card standings, went all-in. After shutting down the Shohei Ohtani trade rumors, they bolstered their pitching staff by acquiring starter Lucas Giolito and reliever Reynaldo Lopez from the Chicago White Sox. They also improved their offense with the additions of sluggers C.J. Cron and Randal Grichuk via the Colorado Rockies.
The AL West-leading Texas Rangers landed two of the top starting pitchers on the trade market: three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer and Jordan Montgomery . The AL East-leading Baltimore Orioles avoided a dismal deadline of their own with the addition of starter Jack Flaherty from the St. Louis Cardinals.
