Going into Wednesday, the Red Sox sat in fourth place in the American League East division with a 33-36 record and an 18.5% chance at the playoffs,\u00a0per FanGraphs.<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest problems for the team has been offensive inconsistency, as well as some questions at first base after a season-ending injury for Triston Casas. In a new prediction for the Milwaukee Brewers&#8217; trade deadline, Tremayne Person of FanSided has potentially solved both of those problems for the Red Sox.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Boston Red Sox are scrambling for stability at first base \u2014 and so far, the answers haven&#8217;t come from within,&#8221;\u00a0Person wrote. &#8220;That&#8217;s where Brewers slugger Rhys Hoskins comes in, who, in the midst of a bounce-back season, checks nearly every box for the Red Sox. He&#8217;s a proven right-handed bat with postseason experience, and his contract structure makes him an intriguing deadline target.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After six productive years with the Philadelphia Phillies, Hoskins missed the 2023 season with an injury and then joined the Brewers on a two-year, $34 million deal before last season. He had a decent debut with the Brewers, but has been much better this season and is slashing .256\/.348\/.427 with nine homers so far.<\/p>\n<p>Hoskins has an $18 million mutual option on his deal for next year, so acquiring him would be a low-risk investment for a Red Sox team that seems to be in need of some roster stabilization. Hoskins could also offer some clubhouse leadership for Boston&#8217;s collection of budding rookie stars.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, this is one trade prediction that could go a long way in boosting the Red Sox season before it gets totally out of hand.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Boston Red Sox have been projected to add a &#8220;bounce-back&#8221; first baseman in a surprising deadline trade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":60968,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-60967","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
