Summary
The Boston Red Sox are considering trading for Mauricio Dubón, a versatile infielder from the Houston Astros, to fill gaps in their infield left by departing players. The team needs to address these issues as both Alex Bregman and possibly Trevor Story will not be returning. Dubón has maintained a consistent on-base percentage, making him a potential option for the team.
