After a season of streaky offense and missing enough power to thrive in the postseason, the Boston Red Sox are expected to pursue a consistent power bat this offseason.
Boston has been linked to Pete Alonso and Kyle Schwarber to resolve their slugging woes. Multiple reports and quotes from chief baseball officer Craig Breslow have suggested that the Red Sox are finally ready to spend big enough to compete with the teams that made longer playoff runs. It's definitely time for them to take the leap — their top prospects have reached the major leagues, and the Blue Jays and Yankees, division rivals, have consecutively reached the World Series.
