The Boston Red Sox need to get some pop this offseason, which has been proven by their mediocre offense relying just on rookie phenom, Roman Anthony. One of the best options they can go for is a reunion with Philadelphia Phillies’ Kyle Schwarber, who’s on track to be a free agent this offseason.

Fansided’s Robert Murray believes that there will be a bidding war for Schwarber, and Boston will be in on it.

“Schwarber is going to have many teams in the running for his services this winter, with the Philadelphia Phillies surely going to attempt to re-sign the star slugger. The Boston Red Sox, San Francisco Giants and really any big market or midwest team (Schwarber grew up in the midwest) make sense when it comes to pursuing him,” Murray wrote.

The Red Sox need to be aware though that the price may be steep. Murray noted the bidding may see Schwarber receive an even higher contract than Los Angeles Dodgers’ Teoscar Hernandez.

“Bidding wars often lead to crazy contracts. Entering the season, I thought a contract slightly north of Teoscar Hernandez’s three-year, $66 million deal made sense for Schwarber. Now, I’m expecting him to blow it out of the water — and with so many teams after him, it’s anyone’s guess how high the bidding goes,” Murray concluded.

Schwarber is slashing .244/.371/.572/.943 with 53 homers, and 128 RBI. He would be an amazing slugger for the Sox, who are lacking in the power department. If the Sox could have him and Anthony, they could be unstoppable. Hopefully they win the bidding war, and see themselves playing October baseball for years to come.
