Red Sox Explore Lineup and Defense Enhancements

The Boston Red Sox are actively exploring options to enhance their lineup with right-handed power hitters and address their defensive needs, showing interest in players like Alex Bregman, Nolan Arenado, and Pete Alonso. Trevor Story is expected to remain a key infield fixture, while the potential acquisition of Alonso may require moving Masataka Yoshida. Additionally, the team is considering trading for Luis Robert Jr. to strengthen their outfield. Despite acquiring pitcher Garrett Crochet, the Red Sox are still weighing major deals that could involve trading top prospects or absorbing large contracts. Their reluctance to commit could be driven by long-term aspirations of signing Toronto's Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
