Red Sox acquire Steven Matz in trade to bolster pitching depth

The Boston Red Sox have acquired left-handed pitcher Steven Matz from the St. Louis Cardinals in a trade. The move aims to bolster the Red Sox's pitching depth ahead of the upcoming trade deadline. Matz, a veteran starter, has a 5-7 record with a 6.03 ERA this season. The Red Sox are hoping that a change of scenery will help Matz regain his form and contribute to their playoff push. The details of the trade have not been disclosed, but it is likely that the Red Sox have parted with some minor league prospects or a low-level player in exchange for Matz's services. This trade represents the first major move by the Red Sox as they look to strengthen their roster and make a run at the postseason in the second half of the MLB season.
