What happened: Boston has already dealt one of its top trade assets and is considering a second offensive addition. Any follow-up move would draw from its remaining prospects or major-league roster.

Why it matters: A recent surge put Boston in an AL wild-card position, increasing the potential value of a lineup upgrade. Spending more trade capital now would reduce the organization's flexibility in future deals.

What to watch: Watch whether Boston moves another premium young asset before the Aug. 3 deadline at 6 p.m. ET.
