"The Red Sox have had talks with the Rangers about a Corey Seager deal, reports Tim Healey and Alex Speier of the Boston Globe. Seager joins a growing list of Boston trade targets that includes Ketel Marte, Isaac Paredes, and Brendan Donovan. The club has also been connected to free agentsBo Bichette, Pete Alonso, and Eugenio Suarez. WEEI's Rob Bradford reports there isn't any momentum regarding Boston's pursuit of Seager."
"While the club has been connected to several players in the trade market, chief baseball officer Craig Breslow admitted some discussions have been slow to progress. " In a lot of the conversations that we've had, a number of teams have conveyed that they're very comfortable holding onto their players, as are we," Breslow said. "So that does add a little bit of a layer of difficulty to try to make these things work.""
"Seager delivered a typical season in 2025, providing stellar offensive production in between IL stints. The 31-year-old notched a 138 wRC+ across 102 games. Seager fell short of 30 home runs for the first time as a Ranger, largely due to missing time with a hamstring strain (twice) and an appendectomy. His 445 plate appearances were his fewest since his final year with the Dodgers in 2021."
The Red Sox engaged the Rangers in talks about acquiring Corey Seager while also targeting Ketel Marte, Isaac Paredes, Brendan Donovan and linked to free agents Bo Bichette, Pete Alonso and Eugenio Suarez. Trade momentum for Seager appears limited. Several trade discussions across the market have been slow to progress because many teams are comfortable retaining their players, which complicates deal-making. Seager produced a 138 wRC+ in 102 games in 2025 but missed time with hamstring strains and an appendectomy, totaling 445 plate appearances. Seager remains on a 10-year, $325 million contract with $31 million owed annually for the next six seasons. Texas has signaled payroll trimming by non-tendering Adolis García and trading Marcus Semien for Brandon Nimmo.
