Did the Boston Red Sox swing and miss at the July 30 MLB trading deadline this season? Sports writer Bill Koch and editor Bill Corey didn't think much of Boston's deadline dealing. Especially since Boston's division rivals all seemed to improve their teams, and the Sox have gone a mediocre 8-8 since the All-Star break. And will Chris Sale return to his old self and rejoin the rotation soon?
