The Boston Red Sox held onto Jarren Duran at the trade deadline, but there's a good chance they will explore trades again in the offseason later this year.

Regardless of the Red Sox' activity (or lack thereof) at the trade deadline, they are still riding a lot of momentum. They are winners of five of their last seven games and were 17-7 in July. With a 59-51 record, they are one game ahead of the Seattle Mariners for the second AL Wild Card spot.

The Red Sox are maintaining a defiant stance that the players they have — the ones who have gotten them this far — are good enough.
