The Boston Red Sox are still trying to trade for an infielder to fill the void left by Alex Bregman’s departure in free agency.

Boston has brought in multiple infielders in the last week, but is still trying to add an everyday infielder. The Red Sox traded the Milwaukee Brewers for 25-year-old infielder Caleb Durbin, the team confirmed in a post on X on Monday, but there’s still a chance that another trade could be on the horizon.

The Red Sox, according to a report, nearly pulled off a three-team trade with the Houston Astros and St. Louis Cardinals to bring in Isaac Paredes, The Athletic’s Chandler Rome and Ken Rosenthal reported. However, those plans eventually fell through. Though the Red Sox traded for Durbin, trading for a two-time All-Star infielder like Paredes would further bolster the lineup.

“In another sign that the Houston Astros are trying to lessen their infield surplus, the team had serious discussions about a three-way trade in which they would have sent Isaac Paredes to Boston and acquired utilityman Brendan Donovan,” Rome and Rosenthal wrote Sunday. “The Red Sox, too, were shut out. Not only did they fail to land Paredes in the three-team deal, but a parallel attempt to acquire Donovan also sputtered, people familiar with the conversations said.

“Boston remains in need of an infielder, and the Astros are still shopping both Paredes and first baseman Christian Walker before Wednesday’s first day of spring training workouts. Multiple league sources have indicated Paredes is more likely to be dealt than Walker, whose cumbersome contract and limited no-trade clause make it more difficult to move him. Based on the needs of both teams, Boston remains Houston’s most straightforward trade partner. The Red Sox have a surplus of left-handed hitting outfielders, any of whom would help to strengthen Houston’s most unsettled position group.”

Paredes is a star slugger whose right-handed bat would instantly make the Red Sox’ lineup more explosive. Although Boston traded for Durbin, it will be interesting if the team continues pursuing a trade for Paredes.
