One of the best options they can go for is a reunion with Philadelphia Phillies&#8217; Kyle Schwarber, who\u2019s on track to be a free agent this offseason.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Fansided\u2019s Robert Murray believes that there will be a bidding war for Schwarber, and Boston will be in on it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE:\u00a0What does the Yankees&#8217; latest blowout loss mean for the Red Sox&#8217; playoff push? An AL Wild Card breakdown<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSchwarber 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,\u201d Murray wrote.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019 Teoscar Hernandez.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE:\u00a0Red Sox insider reveals severity of star rookie Roman Anthony&#8217;s absence in Boston&#8217;s offense<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBidding wars often lead to crazy contracts. Entering the season, I thought a contract slightly north of Teoscar Hernandez\u2019s three-year, $66 million deal made sense for Schwarber. Now, I\u2019m expecting him to blow it out of the water \u2014 and with so many teams after him, it\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess how high the bidding goes,\u201d Murray concluded.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE\u00a0BOSTON RED SOX\u00a0NEWS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Red Sox insider reveals who Boston will be rolling out on the mound for series against Athletics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Three free agent starting pitchers the Red Sox could sign to help lift some workload off Garrett Crochet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Red Sox\u2019 Garrett Crochet chases chance to become Boston\u2019s third pitcher to complete prestigious achievement<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It would be good to get him, but the Sox might have to spend big money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":94048,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[3706,47,2017,39,49,2511,761,73,311,1198],"class_list":["post-94047","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-bidding-war","tag-boston-red-sox","tag-kyle-schwarber","tag-los-angeles-dodgers","tag-philadelphia-phillies","tag-robert-murray","tag-roman-anthony","tag-san-francisco-giants","tag-teoscar-hernandez","tag-yankees"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
