The Boston Red Sox are still trying to make a “prospect-based trade for a legit bat,” several sources told Peter Abraham of The Boston Globe. The Red Sox are looking for more offense despite already acquiring first baseman Willson Contreras<\/a> from the St. Louis Cardinals in December. They also spent $130 million on left-handed starter Ranger Suarez<\/a>, but adding more infield depth is a priority after third baseman Alex Bregman<\/a> departed in free agency. Given Boston’s outfield depth, the team is likely focusing on adding either a second or third baseman in a potential trade. A trade package could center around pitching prospects Payton Tolle<\/a> or Connelly Early<\/a>, and their potential targets could include Astros infielder Isaac Paredes<\/a>, Cubs infielders Nico Hoerner<\/a> and Matt Shaw<\/a>, Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams<\/a>, or Mets infielders Brett Baty<\/a> and Mark Vientos<\/a>.–Keith Hernandez<\/a>
