Red Sox to Pursue Trade for Brett Baty?
According to Christopher Smith of MassLive.com, New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty is considered a potential option for the Red Sox. The Red Sox have been actively looking to improve their depth at third base during the offseason. They heavily targeted top infielders Bo Bichette and Alex Bregman in free agency but were unable to get a deal done. While they have also been linked to Houston's third baseman, Isaac Paredes, Baty appears to also be in the mix. With the Mets signing Bichette, reports in New York suggest they may view Baty as a corner outfielder going forward, as their infield is now quite crowded. Last season, Baty took a massive step forward in his development, posting a .254/.313/.435 line with a career-best 13 doubles and 18 home runs. Baty would take on an everyday role in Boston and would carry sneaky sleeper appeal as a corner infielder, given his productive showing last season.
