The Boston Red Sox's early exit from the 2025 postseason showed that they still have plenty of roster changes to make before they can muster a lengthy playoff run. Adding a power bat should be high on their list of priorities.
Alex Bregman opted out of his contract, but is widely expected to reunite with Boston — it could hope for a better offensive season from him next year, as he only hit 28 doubles and 18 homers while playing half his season at Fenway Park, where he's historically performed well. The Sox have also been linked to slugger Kyle Schwarber, who blasted 56 home runs in 2025 and is a clear frontrunner for National League MVP.
