The Boston Red Sox's offensive power outage from the second half and postseason has still not been remedied, as chief baseball officer Craig Breslow has stuck to mostly pitching additions so far.
The Red Sox have missed out on signing two top sluggers, Kyle Schwarber and Pete Alonso, who could've sparked their offense with an additional 40-50 homers, apiece. Alonso also could've taken up first base as Triston Casas rediscovers his footing in the big leagues. Instead, Boston didn't make either a serious offer.
But all hope is not lost when it comes to the Red Sox adding a slugging first baseman.
