Boston has struggled against left-handed pitchers in the first half, striking out 293 times and averaging .240 with a .705 OPS against left-handed starters. Addressing this weakness is crucial for postseason success.
"Pete Alonso would give Boston more firepower in the lineup. Triston Casas's potential debut after the All-Star break makes adding Alonso a premium contingency, even if a trade seems unlikely."
"Luis Rengifo's bounce-back season and .955 OPS against left-handed pitchers make him a practical trade target for the Red Sox. His infield versatility and one final year of arbitration could add value."
"Paul DeJong could provide the Red Sox with an additional option. However, specific details about his fit and potential impact on the team's performance are not fully explored in the article."
