Red Sox Among 3 Contenders Linked To Mets Star Pete Alonso

If the Boston Red Sox make a big swing this offseason, who could they bring to town?

Last year, Boston’s biggest additions were Alex Bregman, Aroldis Chapman, and Garrett Crochet. Clearly, an aggressive approach worked and the Red Sox made it back to the postseason. Now, the offseason is here for Boston and the organization is going to have months to prepare for the 2026 campaign.

The Red Sox have plenty of money and a top-tier farm system at their disposal, so they realistically should be able to get anyone they want. Whether that is a big-name on the trade block, like Joe Ryan. Or whether that means re-signing Bregman and also bringing in more talent in free agency. This team's window to contention is opening up and now is the time to continue the aggressive approach. There is going to be a lot of talent out there that could help the Red Sox and even more players who will be floated as a fit for the organization because they do have needs and money to spend. MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand, for example, tabbed Boston among the "potential fits" to sign New York Mets slugger Pete Alonso.

"No. 6) Pete Alonso, 1B, Mets (age 31)," Feinsand said. "Like Bregman, it took Alonso until mid-February to land a deal, re-signing with the Mets for two years and $54 million. Alonso has said he plans to opt out of the final year and $24 million of the deal to give free agency another try, and with 38 home runs, 126 RBIs and an .871 OPS in 162 games this season -- not to mention the absence of a qualifying offer -- he should draw more interest than he did a year ago. Potential fits: Giants, Mets, Red Sox."
