This time last month, the thought of the Boston Red Sox adding something at the deadline felt like a distant dream.

There's a Massachusetts–based restaurant chain that offers a free kids meal— kid must be present, limit two per party —the day after a Boston Red Sox win. When the team was scuffling at the bottom of the AL East and manager Alex Cora was fired for a dismal start, the promotion became an easy joke: The children of New England were hungry. So hungry.

Not so long ago, the Red Sox appeared to be buried, but a hand has suddenly shot up out of the dirt. Boston’s season started so poorly that manager Alex Cora was fired just a month in. Triple-A manager Chad Tracy was called up to take over on an interim basis. That didn’t immediately improve […]
