"With money to spend this offseason, the Red Sox are already linked to several high-profile free agents. First baseman Pete Alonso and former Red Sox outfielder Kyle Schwarber have been connected to Boston in rumors dating back to the regular season earlier this year. Both of whom are power-hitting bats who would slot into the top half of the Red Sox' lineup if the team landed one of them. Considering Schwarber's brief yet memorable tenure in Boston during the second half of the 2021 season, which he helped prolong by leading them to the postseason for the first time since 2018, his name has appeared most often in reports thus far."
"Between the Red Sox "loving" the 32-year-old, according to MassLive's Chris Cotillo, and Fansided's Robert Murray expecting the club to be a "big player" in the Schwarber sweepstakes, Boston's interest in a reunion with his bat is evident early this winter. The interest is certainly valid given Schwarber's 2025 regular season stats: 56 home runs, 132 RBI, 108 walks, and a .928 OPS through 162 games with the Phillies."
Boston has payroll flexibility and is linked to free-agent sluggers Pete Alonso and Kyle Schwarber as potential lineup upgrades. Both hitters provide middle-of-order power and durability. Schwarber posted 56 home runs, 132 RBI, 108 walks and a .928 OPS through 162 games in 2025. Alonso produced 38 home runs, 126 RBI, batted .272 with an .871 OPS and played all 162 games in 2025. Some individuals within the Red Sox organization prefer Alonso to Schwarber. Boston previously used Schwarber at first base in ten games during his brief 2021 stint with the team.
