MLB Teams Revise Offseason Strategies for 2025

The Boston Red Sox are seeking a left-handed pitcher to balance their rotation for the 2025 season, with Sean Manaea, who opted out of his contract with the Mets, being a potential candidate. The Houston Astros, after a disappointing postseason, are looking to strengthen their lineup, potentially targeting Diamondbacks' Christian Walker, whose strong market includes interest from the Yankees and Mets. The New York Yankees are active in the market, considering Alex Bregman if they lose Juan Soto, while also eyeing Teoscar Hernández from the Dodgers as a backup plan. The Kansas City Royals aim to enhance their offense, considering trades for players like the Cubs' Mike Tauchman and Giants' LaMonte Wade Jr. The White Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet is expected to be traded, with teams like the Mets showing interest due to his low salary and potential. The Blue Jays are contemplating trading Chris Bassitt to recoup prospects and adjust payroll amidst their own offseason changes.
