The Boston Red Sox will probably be looking for another slugger this offseason, as they’ve realized their offense crumbles without their rookie sensation, Roman Anthony. The Sox were linked to a former member of the team in Kyle Schwarber, but now it seems unlikely.

According to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal, Schwarber’s current team, the Philadelphia Phillies, are very likely to re-sign them.

“The expectation is that designated hitter Kyle Schwarber will remain with the Philadelphia Phillies. A four-year deal at $30-million plus per season seems realistic, in part, because his leadership adds to his value. But there is no obvious free-agent precedent for Schwarber, who will be 33 at the start of next season,” Rosenthal wrote.

The Sox may be able to match that projected contract, as they freed up a massive amount of cap space when they traded Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants. However, the Sox also plan on re-signing Alex Bregman if he opts-out of his contract, who will command a huge contract.

However, Bregman is having a massive slump in this final month of the regular season, so he may opt-in for one more year. If that happens, the Sox could sign Schwarber to a better deal than the Phillies. And, even if the Sox go through with a re-sign of Bregman, they still could go for Schwarber with their extra cap space.

Hopefully the Sox can find a way to get Schwarber back in Boston, as his bat power would be a definite upgrade for the Sox’ streaky offense. Boston is so close to having a championship team, and Schwarber could be the key.
