The Boston Red Sox have more roster tinkering to do after boosting their rotation by acquiring Garrett Crochet from the Chicago White Sox.
Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said last week that the club is still looking to add “a right-handed bat” in free agency. Alonso, whose 34 home runs last season would have ranked him first on the Red Sox roster, could add power to this batting order.
The Red Sox already have Triston Casas at first base, but it sounds like the team might be willing to move on from him this offseason. The club already included his name in a trade offer to the Seattle Mariners, which would have brought either Bryce Miller or Bryan Woo to Boston, Ryan Divish and Adam Jude reported for the Seattle Times.
