Red Sox Still Looking to Make Prospect-Based Trade for a Bat
The Boston Red Sox are still trying to make a "prospect-based trade for a legit bat," several sources told Peter Abraham of The Boston Globe. The Red Sox are looking for more offense despite already acquiring first baseman Willson Contreras from the St. Louis Cardinals in December. They also spent $130 million on left-handed starter Ranger Suarez, but adding more infield depth is a priority after third baseman Alex Bregman departed in free agency. Given Boston's outfield depth, the team is likely focusing on adding either a second or third baseman in a potential trade. A trade package could center around pitching prospects Payton Tolle or Connelly Early, and their potential targets could include Astros infielder Isaac Paredes, Cubs infielders Nico Hoerner and Matt Shaw, Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams, or Mets infielders Brett Baty and Mark Vientos.
