Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez would be an ideal fit, though there are backup options if that pursuit were to also fall short.<\/p>\n<p>The Philadelphia Phillies non-tendered Austin Hays after they acquired the outfielder in a deadline deal with the Baltimore Orioles. Hays fits an athletic, right-handed profile that would benefit the Red Sox.<\/p>\n<p>The move would be similar to when the Red Sox traded for Tyler O\u2019Neill from the St. Louis Cardinals where a change of scenery could bring out the best in the player. With that said, distinctions between O\u2019Neill and Hays need to be emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>Both players have dealt with injuries, and O\u2019Neill has significantly more power than Hays. With that said Hays, in his current state, is likely more durable defensively than O\u2019Neill. He could also find some more power by playing half of his games at Fenway Park with the Green Monster to aim at. Hays hit 22 home runs in 2021 during the first of three straight seasons playing 130 or more games.<\/p>\n<p>Soto and Hern\u00e1ndez should be the outfield priorities for Soto, though Hays may be worthy of a look in some regard later this winter.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tyler O&#8217;Neill went to free agency after hitting 31 home runs for the Boston Red Sox.
