NL Central: Zack Cozart drawing interest from Red Sox

Where will Zack Cozart play baseball next season? Potentially the Red Sox. Boston has actively been scouting the Reds’ shortstop. And who could blame them? With a slash line of .319/.406/.564 this season, Cozart is one of the best rental infielders around right now and would certainly give Boston a huge playoff push.

Here’s what else you should know going on in the National League Central:

• Relax everyone, the Cardinals bullpen is fine.
• The Cubs are looking at left handed relievers Brad Hand, Justin Wilson, and Zach Britton. I’m sensing a pattern here.
• The Pirates have placed Gregory Polanco on the disabled list for a left hamstring injury and recalled Steve Brault.
• The Milwaukee Brewers won’t change deadline approach and are still reportedly in strong pursuit of Sonny Gray.
• The Cubs have activated Kyle Hendricks from the disabled list and optioned Felix Pena to Iowa.
• Should the Cardinals consider finding a suitor to trade Michael Wacha with?
• The Brewers still searching for trade partners despite recent slide.
• Pirates pitching prospect Ike Schlabach continues his strong stretch down in Triple-A.
• The Reds will look to pitchers who’ve struggled as 2017 winds down.
• The Cubs could be targeting several veteran catchers.
• You’re probably wondering who Tyler O’Neill is, the outfielder prospect the Cardinals just traded with the Mariners for. Here’s your cheat sheet on him.
• The Milwaukee Brewers have activated Wily Peralta and designated Rob Scahill for assignment.
