Boston Red Sox team president Sam Kennedy says they have the "green light" to be buyers at the trade deadline.

Chapman is 3-2 with a 1.29 ERA and 1.9 WAR in 38 appearances with Boston this year. The seven-time All-Star and former Reliever of the Year has also racked up 15 saves.

Red Sox have been disappointing to this point, but a key trade could allow them to become contenders for Wild Card spot
