"Boston Red Sox The Red Sox still have some needs to address in the field and in the bullpen this offseason after swinging a pair of trades for starting pitchers. Ahead of this week's Winter Meetings, much of the free-agent rumors surrounding the Red Sox have been focused on Alex Bregman, Kyle Schwarber, and Pete Alonso. Bo Bichette's name has also joined that group as Boston seeks to add an impactful bat this offseason."
"The 32-year-old right-handed hitting Hoskins had another productive season in 2025. He hit .237 with a .748 OPS and 12 home runs with the Brewers last season, but he only played in 90 games due to a thumb injury. He also had a .332 on-base percentage as he's been one of the better hitters in the league in terms of drawing walks dating back to his time with the Phillies."
The Red Sox added two starting pitchers via recent trades but still have roster gaps in both position players and the bullpen. Craig Breslow is actively working to complete the roster ahead of the Winter Meetings and free-agent speculation centers on hitters like Alex Bregman, Kyle Schwarber, Pete Alonso, and Bo Bichette. Rhys Hoskins is presented as a potential first-base depth option to spell Triston Casas, having produced a .748 OPS and a .332 on-base percentage in 2025 despite a thumb injury. Harrison Bader is suggested as a right-handed outfield option depending on how the team manages its current outfield surplus.
