Many reporters and insiders predict the Boston Red Sox will be one of the most active teams this offseason — they've already traded for starting pitcher Sonny Gray, and they've been linked to seemingly every slugger on the free agent and trade markets.
One of the most curious players in whom Boston has taken an interest is longtime Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (subscription required). The veteran doesn't match up with the other types of players the Sox have checked in with this winter (Alex Bregman and Pete Alonso would address positions of need and Kyle Schwarber would be a pure-DH slugger), but there would be some value to adding such an experienced player to their young roster.
