What happened: Contenders are targeting lineup balance against left-handed pitching as the market enters its final days. Heliot Ramos, Zach Neto, Jo Adell and Luis Robert Jr. are among the available right-handed options drawing attention.
Why it matters: Limited supply could force buyers to surrender stronger prospect packages. Boston has already acquired Curtis Mead from Washington for rookie starter Connelly Early.
By the numbers: Early carried a 3.24 ERA through his first 21 major league starts before the Mead trade.
What to watch: Watch whether demand accelerates talks involving Ramos, Neto, Adell and Robert before Monday's cutoff.
