Red Sox Roster Moves and Trade Rumors

The Boston Red Sox are actively making moves to strengthen their roster, with recent trades and acquisitions. They acquired catcher Blake Sabol from the San Francisco Giants in exchange for international bonus pool space, adding depth to their catching position. The team is rumored to be pursuing a blockbuster trade for San Diego Padres ace Dylan Cease, who is projected to command a $108 million contract, to bolster their rotation alongside Garrett Crochet and Walker Buehler. Additionally, the Red Sox express interest in acquiring right-handed hitters to balance their left-heavy lineup after losing their 2024 home run leader, Tyler O'Neill. Former Red Sox catcher Jorge Alfaro signed a minor league deal with the Milwaukee Brewers in hopes of making an MLB return. Meanwhile, Rich Gedman, a former Red Sox player, has been appointed as a Player Development Hitting Advisor within the organization.
