The Boston Red Sox's search for an infielder has drawn out so long that they're pivoting to outfielders to bolster their lineup.
According to Katie Woo and Will Sammon of The Athletic, Boston has considered some free agent, right-handed outfielders instead of infielders to complete its roster (subscription required). Starling Marte, Randall Grichuk and Tommy Pham — who played for the Red Sox in the second half of the 2022 season — are among the players they've allegedly checked in on.
Adding an infielder remains a priority for Boston, per Woo and Sammon's report, but there has seemingly been little momentum toward a deal with anyone.
