The Boston Red Sox aren\u2019t done looking for offense this offseason.<\/p>\n
Boston will keep pursuing another infielder after acquiring first baseman Willson Contreras, per Alex Speier of the Boston Globe<\/a>. Speier identified four \u201cprimary targets\u201d on the diamond.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n The Red Sox are pursuing free agents Alex Bregman and Bo Bichette while exploring another possible trade for Ketel Marte or Isaac Paredes.<\/p>\n A Bregman reunion remains feasible<\/a>, but the third baseman will likely require a longer-term investment than the three-year deal \u2014 with an opt-out he exercised \u2014 this time around. The three-time All-Star quickly established himself as a locker room leader while batting .273\/.360\/.462 with Boston last season.<\/p>\n Bichette represents another top infielder on the open market. He shook off a down 2024 to bat .311\/.357\/.483 with 18 home runs and 94 RBIs for the Toronto Blue Jays, returning from a knee injury to notch a .923 OPS in the World Series.<\/p>\n The shortstop may not seem like the smoothest fit<\/a> for Boston, but MLB.com\u2019s Mark Feinsand reported that Bichette has told teams he\u2019s willing to move<\/a> to second base.<\/p>\n Marte gives Boston another high-end target at the keystone position. USA Today\u2019s Bob Nightengale reported that the Red Sox were backing away<\/a> from the Arizona Diamondbacks star after acquiring Contreras, but perhaps they\u2019re still eyeing the two-time Silver Slugger.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Paredes earned his second All-Star nod and batted .254\/.352\/.458 with 20 home runs in 102 games last season. The 26-year-old offers a potential third-base pivot from Bregman if the Houston Astros are willing to trade him for the third time in as many years.<\/p>\n More MLB:<\/p>\n
