Despite trying to trade for high-end players, the Boston Red Sox did not make their big league outfielders available.

One huge trade reportedly in the works involves the Boston Red Sox attempting to make a move for San Diego Padres pitcher Dylan Cease. According to insider Francys Romero, the Red Sox are viewed as being "in the mix" for a right-hander who has twice finished in the top five in Cy Young Award voting.

TRADE: The Red Sox have made a deadline deal, sending minor-league infielder Blaze Jordan to the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for 34-year-old pitcher Steven Matz. The Cardinals officially announced the move Thursday morning. The veteran lefty worked out of the bullpen in St. Louis, but has experience starting games.
