The Boston Red Sox finished third in the American League East last season. As a result, they came into the offseason needing to make some major moves if they wanted to close the gap on the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays.<\/p>\n

To start the offseason, the Red Sox added Sonny Gray in a shocking trade with the St. Louis Cardinals. Gray is going to slot in as the No. 2 or No. 3 pitcher in Boston, but the front office needs to keep adding on.<\/p>\n

Jon Heyman of the New York Post recently reported the Red Sox were targeting free agent slugger Pete Alonso of the New York Mets in free agency.<\/p>\n

\"Red<\/p>\n

“The Red Sox are considering signing up to two of these five big-time lineup enhancements: uberpopular Kyle Schwarber, plus Pete Alonso, Kazuma Okamoto and J.T. Realmuto, as well as last winter\u2019s big pickup Alex Bregman,” Heyman wrote Thursday.<\/p>\n

Alonso would be a huge addition to the Red Sox’s lineup. He would take over at first base for the time being before being moved to the designated hitter role in the coming years.<\/p>\n

The Red Sox could also afford Alonso after the Gray trade, even if it would come at a huge cost. Jim Bowden of The Athletic recently projected Alonso would sign for $182 million in free agency.<\/p>\n

The Red Sox need to make big moves to close the gap in the AL East. Adding Alonso would certainly help them push for a division title in the coming years.<\/p>\n
