As the Boston Red Sox continue to swing from looking like a playoff contender to a seller leading up to the trade deadline, opposing teams are at least keeping an eye on Alex Bregman's status.

The Boston Red Sox season has not gone according to plan. Could they consider being sellers at the trade deadline despite having a shot at the postseason?

BOSTON — Alex Bregman believes he could skip a minor-league rehab assignment and be back in Boston’s lineup before the All-Star break. The two-time All-Star third baseman, who has been sidelined since May 24 with a strained right quad, said there’s even a chance his return could happen by the end of this week.
