The Rays May trade Zach Eflin, a SPer Bloom made an offer to a couple years back. His contract seems designed for a Ray’s trade: he’s owed $18M in 2025 on his $40M/3 deal. I’d prefer a deal like this to a 2 month rental, despite the higher return needed.
A good rental might be trading for Flaherty from the Tigers.
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
Maybe we try to get Kopech back.
Just thinking of nonsplash trades, something maybe more possible.

Wildcard standings the Red Sox are there. 1 game up in the loss colum. Buy, buy, and buy again. It doesn’t have to be a rental either. Like Cora just recently said that this team can be made better. Let’s see what Brez is made of.
Certain players that can't be traded away IMO, such as Mayer, Anthony, Campbell, Teel, Cespedes, Yorke, Meidroth (the new greek god of walks). These guys are untouchables. I would be open to moving Grissom (still highly regarded), Hamilton (if some team is desperate for his speed and will overpay), Valdez. The Red Sox could promote Yorke or Meidroth and give him the starting 2b job. Should the Red Sox be in the market for a starting SS along with a SP?
Hamilton is just not good for speed, but quality AB's and versatility. He looks to me like a guy who's more valuable to the Sox than other teams.
WAR is good for something.
