The Red Sox will try to bring free-agent slugger Kyle Schwarber back, according to Chaim Bloom.
“He fits us,” Bloom told MLB Network’s Jon Heyman.
Schwarber had a very successful contract year and likely will not be cheap. Before suffering a hamstring injury with the Nationals, Schwarber was the hottest hitter in baseball — ripping 12 homers in 10 games from June 19-29 and 16 homers total in the month of June. When he returned, he had been traded to the Red Sox where he batted .291/.435/.522 splits with seven homers and 18 RBIs.
