These trade candidates have seen their stock start to soar
Aroldis Chapman, LHP, Red Sox
The veteran reliever has been superb for the Red Sox, who signed Chapman to a one-year, $10.75 million deal over the winter. He has successfully converted 11 of 12 save opportunities this season, posting a 1.65 ERA in 30 appearances. Over his past 15 outings, Chapman has a 1.29 ERA, striking out 17 batters over 14 innings. Boston showed signs of life over the weekend against the Yankees, but the Sox remain below .500 and could find themselves in the sellers’ market if they can’t turn things around during the next month.
