Red Sox Explore New Options for Right-Handed Bat

The Boston Red Sox are actively seeking to enhance their lineup with a right-handed power bat to address their imbalance and strengthen their offense for the 2025 season. Potential targets include Adolis Garcia from the Texas Rangers, who offers power but has defensive limitations, and Brent Rooker from the Athletics, known for his powerful hitting in the 2024 season. Jurickson Profar is also considered as a free-agent option, though his past inconsistent performance poses a risk. The Red Sox's offseason moves have focused more on pitching, with the acquisition of Walker Buehler and Garret Crochet, aiming to compete in the AL East against strong rivals like the Yankees. Despite the focus on pitching, the departure of Tyler O'Neill has left a gap in the right-handed lineup, prompting further speculation about acquiring players like Spencer Steer from the Cincinnati Reds. Balancing the lineup remains a priority, with potential trades and signings under consideration to better contend with divisional competitors.
