And, its time to start looking at trade targets now that buying is a firm option for the trade deadline.

Willson Contreras would be one of the most coveted bats at the trade deadline if the Red Sox ever made the first baseman available. But there are a few problems with that equation. First, the Sox are suddenly seemingly in buying mode. And, second, Contreras has a no-trade clause he would have to waive. Bradfo was there when the All-Star talked about what he told the team regarding the no-trade clause, while also offering an update on his injury.
