He has written 10 books, including "Who's Better, Who's Best in the NFL." He has won multiple awards from the Pro Football Writers of America.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Boston Red Sox</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Boston Red Sox went to the Winter Meetings with their fans hoping that they could get Kyle Schwarber of the Philadelphia Phillies or Pete Alonso of the Mets. The team was looking for a power bat in the middle of the lineup, but they failed to sign either one. Schwarber stayed with the Phillies while Alonso surprised the MLB world when he signed with the Baltimore Orioles. The Red Sox did not make a big move, but there is hope they will retain 3rd baseman Alex Bregman and he will sign a new deal to stay at Fenway Park.</p><p>In addition to keeping that mainstay in the lineup, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/boston-red-sox/red-soxs-trade-proposal-they-must-offer-dodgers-for-tyler-glasnow">the Red Sox</a> may be involved in making a significant trade that could bring two-time World Series Most Valuable Player Corey Seager to Boston. If the Red Sox acquire the 31-year-old Seager, the corresponding move would likely include sending Trevor Story to the Rangers.</p><p>Story has been with the Red Sox since the 2022 season, but last season was his only season in Boston that was not impacted by injury.</p><p>He was one of the keys to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/boston-red-sox/red-sox-rumors-bostons-alex-bregman-free-agency-interest-comes-with-a-ketel-marte-twist">the Red Sox</a> making an appearance in the American League playoffs for the first times since the 2021 season. Story was in the lineup for the Red Sox for 157 games, and that was 88 more than he had appeared in 2023 and 2024 combined.</p><p>Story slashed .263/.308/.433 with 25 home runs and 96 runs batted in. Additionally, Story did a fantastic job on the base paths, stealing 31 bases while he was thrown out just once.</p><h2><b>Seager has proven to be an outstanding big-game performer</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Trevor-Story-had-a-brilliant-2025-season-but-can-he-repeat-that-success-1.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>It would be something of a gamble for the Red Sox to trade Story coming off an impactful season, but if Vice President/General Manager Craig Breslow or manager Alex Cora have any doubts about his ability to stay healthy for a full season, it would make sense to consider a trade.</p><p>If the Red Sox were to trade Story for Seager, they would be giving up a right-handed power bat for a left-handed hitter who can hit the ball to all fields and drive in the biggest runs in the most important games.</p><p>Seager has played 11 seasons in the major leagues, including seven with the Los Angeles Dodgers and the last four with the Texas Rangers. He won the World Series MVP with the Dodgers in 2020 and then earned that same award when the Rangers won the World Series in 2023.</p><p>Seager is a five-time All-Star and he hit <a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/seageco01.shtml">30 home runs or more</a> in three consecutive seasons from 2022 through 2024. He had a sensational season in 2023 when he slashed .327/.390/.623 with 33 home runs and 83 RBI.</p><p>Injuries held him to 102 games last season, but he played a career high 157 games in 2016 and he nearly matched that in 2022 when he played in 151 games.</p><p>Trading one shortstop for another would seem to make the most sense, but the Red Sox could also make an alternate move that could result in Seager coming to the Red Sox.</p><h2><b>Jarren Duran could be involved in a trade to Rangers</b></h2><p>The Red Sox appear to have a glut of quality outfielders. Roman Anthony was a phenom in his first season before an injury sidelined him in early September.</p><p>After the Red Sox brought him up from Triple-A Worcester, Anthony slashed .292/.396/.463 with 8 home runs and 32 RBI in 71 games and 257 at bats. He should be a mainstay in the middle of the lineup for years to come.</p><p>The Red Sox also have a pair of Gold Glove winners in the outfield in Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu. That means that Jarren Duran could be reduced to the role of 4th outfielder.</p><p>Duran was the MVP of the 2024 All-Star Game and he could be involved in a trade for Seager. Duran had a brilliant season in 2024 when he led the American League in doubles and triples with 48 and 14, respectively. He also hit 21 home runs and drove in 75 runs. Duran had another solid season last year with 41 doubles, 13 triples, 16 home runs and a career-best 84 RBI. He has stolen 82 bases in the last 3 seasons and is one of the fastest runners in either league.</p><p>If the Red Sox had both Story and Seager, one of those two could play 2nd base, a position that Cora’s team has been struggling to fill for multiple seasons.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With Glasnow earning $65 million over the next two seasons, the Dodgers may be willing to listen to offers, and the Red Sox should position themselves as a serious contender.</p><p>Boston possesses the depth and young talent necessary to construct a compelling package without dismantling their core. A balanced trade that includes rising prospects and complementary major league pieces could address both teams’ needs while respecting the elite caliber of talent involved. The Red Sox cannot afford to be passive players in this market, especially with a legitimate chance to land a pitcher who just excelled in postseason play.</p><h2>The Trade Package for Tyler Glasnow</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Tyler-Glasnow-2.jpg?w=1024"><figcaption>Nick Turchiaro-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><b>Red Sox Receive:</b></p><ul><li>RHP Tyler Glasnow</li></ul><p><b>Dodgers Receive:</b></p><ul><li>RHP Hunter Dobbins, RHP</li><li>RHP Johan Oviedo, RHP</li><li>C Carlos Narvaez, C</li></ul><p>This four-player package addresses multiple areas of concern for Los Angeles while allowing Boston to retain its premier prospects and established core. Hunter Dobbins represents a young, controllable pitcher who impressed during his 2025 stint and brings upside as a back-end rotation option. His ability to pitch multiple innings makes him valuable for a deep playoff team seeking depth.</p><p>Johan Oviedo provides immediate pitching depth for a Dodgers rotation that has experienced durability concerns this season. Though acquired just last week, the left-hander offers another controllable arm with potential to contribute both in the rotation and bullpen. Finally, Carlos Narvaez emerged as a surprising offensive contributor during the 2025 season and gives Los Angeles a young, cost-controlled catcher option for their organizational future.</p><h2>Why This Deal Works for Both Sides</h2><p>The Dodgers land a proven major league pitcher in Dobbins while gaining two promising young players in Garcia and Narvaez who project to contribute at the major league level within the next 1-2 seasons. Oviedo adds rotation depth without burning international spending power or additional prospects. For Boston, acquiring Glasnow transforms the rotation into an elite unit capable of competing for championships immediately.</p><p>The Red Sox understand they cannot compete in the American East without championship-caliber starting pitching. Glasnow’s postseason pedigree and dominant stuff provide the certainty that Boston desperately needs. This deal represents fair value for both organizations while allowing each team to address its most pressing needs moving forward.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

USA Today’s Bob Nightengale predicts that the Red Sox <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2025/12/10/mlb-winter-meetings-end-biggest-offseason-questions/87709243007/" rel="noopener">will be involved</a>, re-signing Alex Bregman and trading for Ketel Marte.</p><p>“Are the Arizona Diamondbacks really going to trade All-Star second baseman Ketel Marte, or realize no one will give them the pitching package they desire? The Diamondbacks came to the winter meetings believing Marte would stay with them. They left town believing he will be traded. Prediction: Marte is traded to the Boston Red Sox, but the Detroit Tigers and, yes, the Cincinnati Reds are possibilities,” Nightengale reported.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/cincinnati-reds/mlb-rumors-reds-ketel-marte-trade-mix-125-million-kyle-schwarber-offer">Marte has five years and $102.5 million left on the deal</a> he just signed in April. But locker-room discontent has put him on the trade market. Even though the Red Sox have Kristian Campbell on a pre-arb extension already, they may want to improve the position defensively.  The Diamondbacks want a package heavy with pitching, and Connelly Early and Payton Tolle could entice them.</p><p>Nightengale continues, “Where will free-agent third baseman Alex Bregman go? A year ago, the Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers, and Chicago Cubs were in hot pursuit of Bregman. He signed a three-year, $120 million deal with the Red Sox, but opted out after the first season, leaving $80 million on the table. Now, one year later, the Red Sox and Tigers are still interested, with the Cubs saying they’re perfectly comfortable with rookie third baseman Matt Shaw. Prediction: Bregman returns to Boston, but won’t get anywhere near the $40 million annual salary he left behind.”</p><p>The Red Sox made the playoffs last year and have a superstar in the making in Roman Anthony. Surrounding him with talent is a necessity this offseason. While nothing has come yet, many believe Boston is just getting started.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After spending the first seven seasons of his career with the New York Mets, it was reported that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/baltimore-orioles/orioles-news-pete-alonso-history-155-million-deal">Alonso had decided to sign with the Baltimore Orioles</a> on a five-year, $155 million contract — a deal that would pay him an average of $31 million over the duration of that deal. But before Alonso signed with the Orioles, he had plenty of suitors, including another AL East team in the Boston Red Sox.</p><p>However, the Red Sox couldn’t really qualify as a serious suitor for Alonso in the end. According to Tim Healey of the Boston Globe, the Red Sox’s <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/10/sports/red-sox-pete-alonso-orioles/" rel="noopener">final offer</a> for the veteran first baseman was for “fewer years and significantly less money” than what the Orioles put on the table. This was because they were “wary” of his age and how badly the contract might age.</p><p>Considering the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/boston-red-sox/red-sox-news-why-rafael-devers-trade-has-left-execs-confounded">Red Sox’s dealings in recent times</a>, their aversion to going all-out in their pursuit of Alonso, despite their need for a heavy hitter in the middle of the lineup, is not surprising. This was the team that traded Rafael Devers away in the early goings of his huge contract extension, after all.</p><p>Alonso is now 31 years of age, and he’s been remarkably consistent for his entire career, so perhaps the veteran first baseman would prove the Red Sox wrong now that they’re sharing the same division.</p><h2><b>Red Sox look for more power production</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Rangers-shortstop-Corey-Seager-5-hits-a-two-run-home-run.jpg"><figcaption>© David Butler II-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Last season, Trevor Story led the Red Sox in home runs, with 25. While Boston did rank seventh last season in total runs scored, they are looking to bolster their production even further to keep in step with the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees.</p><p>Alonso and Kyle Schwarber, two of the top power options in free agency, are gone. A <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/boston-red-sox/red-sox-rumors-corey-seager-among-all-star-trade-candidates-boston-is-in-on">trade might be their best way to acquire</a> the power bat they need, and they have the assets anyway to pull off a blockbuster for someone like Corey Seager.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As part of the Rule 5 Draft, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/boston-red-sox/next-trade-red-sox-must-make-acquiring-sonny-gray-cardinals">the Red Sox landed</a> right-handed reliever Ryan Watson, while the Athletics added versatile infielder-outfielder Justin Riemer. The trade came to fruition quickly Wednesday afternoon, adding intrigue to the winter landscape.</p><p>Watson, originally selected by the Athletics from the San Francisco Giants organization, joins the club as a needed bullpen boost. The 28-year-old pitched in Triple-A last season and brings steady command and swing-and-miss stuff. The Red Sox often look for undervalued arms through smart offseason moves, and Watson fits that approach well. His arrival gives the roster fresh depth and real competition heading into spring training.</p><p>On the other side, Riemer gives the A’s a young, cost-controlled player capable of handling multiple positions. The 23-year-old was drafted by Boston in 2023 and impressed at High-A with strong plate discipline and contact skills. The move helps the Athletics continue building toward long-term flexibility and player development consistency.</p><p>MassLive’s Chris Cotillo took to his X (formerly known as Twitter) to <a href="https://x.com/ChrisCotillo/status/1998851591500333429" rel="noopener">confirm</a> the deal and highlight its simplicity.</p><p>“Red Sox trade Justin Riemer to A’s.”</p><p>The Rule 5 Draft exchange reflects clear value for both sides, as <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/boston-red-sox/red-sox-news-aroldis-chapman-great-britain-wbc-roster">Boston gains needed bullpen upside</a> and the Athletics land a prospect built for long-term growth. While the move is not a blockbuster, it highlights how each front office leans on smart scouting and efficient planning to shape its roster. The trade also shows how both clubs use the winter window to find talent that fits their timelines rather than chase splash moves that do not match their goals. It marks another steady step in the 2025 MLB offseason and adds a layer of intrigue to the ongoing adjustments between the two clubs.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Now, Red Sox fans will not be pleased when they hear the Alonso contract offer their favorite team made before <a href="https://x.com/timbhealey/status/1998834537271636174" rel="noopener">choosing to go</a> to a divisional rival, according to Red Sox beat writer Tim Healey.</p><p>“The Red Sox’ offer to Pete Alonso was for fewer years and significantly less money, sources said,” Healey wrote on X.</p><p>It’s a double blow for the Sox, as they lost out on one of the better hitters in baseball and watched him go to a divisional rival. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/baltimore-orioles/orioles-pete-alonso-contract-grades-155-million-deal">Alonso contract</a> he signed with the Orioles is for 5 years and $155 million. Ultimately, that means the Sox likely wanted three years at a maximum.

However, his 2025 season was one of his best, as he hit .272 with 38 home runs, 126 RBIs, and 87 runs with an on-base percentage of .347.

Had the Red Sox been able to sign him, he would have joined a lineup that already includes Jarren Duran, Trevor Story, and Alex Bregman (assuming he re-signs).</p><p>While the Red Sox did have Nathaniel Lowe at first base, that did not stop them from extending an offer to Alonso. No, Red Sox fans will not be happy with the contract offer. But the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/boston-red-sox/red-sox-rumors-boston-linked-multiple-players-missing-out-pete-alonso">Red Sox are still in the running</a> for other top-notch free agents, so they will attempt to remedy this situation to build a team that can contend next season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Despite losing out on him, the Red Sox free agency period continues as <a href="https://x.com/JonHeyman/status/1998855095040225746" rel="noopener">they have been linked</a> to Eugenio Suarez, Bo Bichette, and many more, according to baseball columnist Jon Heyman.</p><p>“Eugenio Suarez is yet another infielder the Red Sox are showing interest in.

Additionally, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/mlb-stories/mlb-rumors-blue-jays-kyle-tucker-bo-bichette-red-sox">Red Sox might push for Bichette</a> if they cannot get Marte or Suarez.

If the Sox pursue Bichette, they would have to move Trevor Story to second base or flip one of their players. Regardless, free agency is still alive and well, and the Red Sox still have time to make their team better in hopes of improving in the 2026 season and potentially making a World Series run.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Mets star first baseman Pete Alonso is a free agent, but New York is hesitating, which <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/pete-alonso-rumors-at-winter-meetings" rel="noopener">has opened the door</a> for the Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles.</p><p>“The Red Sox and Orioles are both looking to add an impact power bat to their respective lineups, while the Mets have enjoyed the benefits of Alonso’s power for the past seven years,” MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand reported. “According to sources, Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns — who signed Alonso to a two-year, $54 million deal last February — may be hesitant to give the slugger a deal longer than three years.”</p><p>Feinsand continued, “If the Mets balk at the idea of a contract longer than three years, it could open the door for the Red Sox or Orioles to swipe Alonso away from the team that drafted him in the second round in 2016.”</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-mets/mets-news-pete-alonso-announces-opt-out-contract-enter-free-agency">Mets balked at the idea of a long-term deal for Alonso last offseason</a>. They signed him to a two-year deal with an opt-out after the 2025 season. He led the National League in doubles and racked up 126 RBIs in that year, putting him back in the free-agency pool.</p><p>With Kyle Schwarber off the board, Alonso is set up to be the next big contract off the board. His power numbers were not what Schwarber’s were last year, but his swing is perfect for the spot behind OBP king Juan Soto. The Mets have cleared money off the books with the Brandon Nimmo trade and by losing Diaz. Bringing back Alonso would put the front office back in the good graces of the fanbase.

Ken Rosenthal would also talk about Boston’s <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6874837/2025/12/09/mlb-trade-market-winter-meetings-ketel-marte/" rel="noopener">intrigue in the second baseman</a>, as last season, Marte recorded a .283 batting average to go along with 28 home runs and 72 RBIs.</p><p>“The Boston Red Sox are among the teams interested in Marte, according to sources briefed on the discussions. Three unidentified clubs are also said to be in the mix. The Diamondbacks, who agreed Monday with right-hander Mike Soroka on a one-year, $7.5 million contract, are seeking young pitching as they await the returns of staff ace Corbin Burnes and relievers A.J. Puk and Justin Martinez,” Rosenthal wrote in The Athletic.</p><p>With Arizona looking for pitching, Morosi’s original post about having starting pitchers makes the two teams perfect trade partners.</p><p>It remains to be seen what team ends up with Marte and if the Red Sox will be the lucky team, as the ball club is looking to improve after finishing last season at a 89-73 record, which put them third in the division.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Now, they are back in Orlando, courting one of the market’s top free agents. The MLB free agency stove is heating up, and the Red Sox are talking to Pete Alonso once again.

That sent him back to the New York Mets on a deal with a player option after the 2025 season. He declined the option, landing back in the free-agent pool once again this year.</p><p>Alonso is a first baseman with decent defensive metrics but an elite power bat. That could land him in Boston as a Tristan Casas injury replacement and a designated hitter in certain games as well.

Their collapse in September has already led to some huge changes, and losing another fan favorite could be disastrous for Cohen. Keeping Alonso would help the Mets get into the playoffs next year, but the Red Sox also have money to spend.</p><p>The Red Sox traded Rafael Devers last season, but Alex Bregman opted out of his contract. There is a lot to watch around Boston this winter, and Alonso could be the next piece. What would Alonso’s contract look like?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
