Red Sox Pursue Trade for Nolan Arenado

The Boston Red Sox are actively seeking a right-handed bat, with notable interest in veteran third basemen Alex Bregman and Nolan Arenado. Bregman, a free agent and former player under manager Alex Cora in Houston, could fit into the Red Sox lineup, potentially at second base if Rafael Devers remains at third. However, reports suggest that Devers may be unwilling to give up his position, complicating the pursuit of either player. Meanwhile, Arenado, who has expressed interest in being traded to Boston, would provide a significant upgrade both offensively and defensively, but the Red Sox would need to navigate roster adjustments if they acquire him. Trevor Story, a former teammate of Arenado, has advocated for the potential trade, highlighting Arenado's elite skills despite recent performance declines. As the offseason progresses, the Red Sox must weigh their options carefully amid conflicting reports about their front office's intentions.
