Boston Red Sox, Aroldis Chapman
Digest more
The Boston Red Sox have a few big decisions to make in the coming weeks. They're still reportedly deciding about what to do with Aroldis Chapman this year.
Making a move at the deadline for a reliever is a very feasible move for Detroit. Of the six names Bowden mentioned, Bednar and Chapman are the two most likely additions. Come the end of July, either could be in Detroit.
Keeping that in mind, the Tigers have been mentioned as a possible trade partner for the Boston Red Sox. Jim Bowden of The Athletic has named Red Sox relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman as a potential target for Detroit.
The Boston Red Sox could entertain the idea of trading their star closer, Aroldis Chapman, ahead of the trade deadline this season.
Chapman lowered his season ERA to a ridiculous 1.29 with his scoreless inning against the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. That sealed the win and marked Chapman's 16th save of the season in 17 tries. But it was also a significant career milestone for the 37-year-old.
