After that, they\u2019ll have to focus on the offseason.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a possibility in the offseason that their star leader, Alex Bregman, decides to walk in free agency. They\u2019ll need to replace him, and Sports Illustrated\u2019s Patrick McAvoy believes they could get a replacement in St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE:\u00a0MLB analyst reveals key choice Red Sox must make to succeed in the postseason<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis fit isn&#8217;t as obvious. Boston was at least on Arenado&#8217;s list and there was a time in which it seemed like a deal was possible. But, the Red Sox signed Bregman. If Bregman were to leave this offseason, then the fit is obvious. If Bregman stays, then there&#8217;s still an argument that the Red Sox could need a boost at first base, which last year Arenado made it known he&#8217;d be willing to play the spot,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This season, Arenado slashed .236\/.292\/.365\/.656 with 10 homers and 49 RBI. Arenado also only played 102 games due to a shoulder injury.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE:\u00a0MLB analyst reveals Red Sox&#8217; dream trade that they wish they could make right now<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Arenado would be a good defensive replacement at the hot corner, as he is a 10-time Gold Glover and a six-time Platinum Glover. However, his bat is way worse than Bregman\u2019s, as seen in his mediocre statline.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, the Sox figure out a way to keep Bregman, as he is the overall better player. Though, if he does walk, if the Sox can get Arenado on a good deal, it could be a good move.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE\u00a0BOSTON RED SOX\u00a0NEWS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Red Sox insider finds idea of Alex Bregman testing free agency unlikely after massive end of season slump<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>MLB insider reveals Red Sox&#8217; chances at reunion with $79 million MVP candidate are now slim to none<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Red Sox flamethrowing rookie Payton Tolle receives new position with team after two mediocre starts<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This could be a solid pickup if the Sox lose Bregman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":97005,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[238,262,114,72],"class_list":["post-97004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-alex-bregman","tag-nolan-arenado","tag-red-sox","tag-st-louis-cardinals"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
