Boston still has a lot of work to do to improve the roster Possible Options For Red Sox
There is still time for the Boston Red Sox to bolster their roster.
To put it mildly, Boston’s offseason has been divisive. The Red Sox have added Tyler O’Neill, Vaughn Grissom, and Lucas Giolito, three interesting players.
Notwithstanding this, the Boston roster still has certain gaps. The club’s weakest point is unquestionably the starting rotation. Although they currently seem unlikely, there are still a few excellent options available, such as Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery.
Several right-handed sluggers have also been connected to Boston in an attempt to replace Justin Turner on the team. Still, it’s unclear if the Red Sox will sign a player in the end.
According to Alex Speier of the Boston Globe, two options if Boston were to sign another hitter would be Jorge Soler or Adam Duvall.
“There is still time for the Sox to add to what they’ve done—to sign a bullpen lottery ticket or two, or a masher like Jorge Soler or Adam Duvall, or someone who might make their team deeper and thus better positioned to either compete in 2024 or trade for someone who can make them better in 2025 and beyond,” Speier stated. “But unless that happens, this offseason will feel like one that lacks urgency—not only for the present but for a brighter outlook in the future.”
The Red Sox have been connected to Soler and Duvall on multiple occasions. Boston hasn’t completed any deals despite being connected to almost every well-known free agent on the market.
To replace Turner on the roster, signing either Soler or Duvall would make perfect sense, but at this stage of the offseason, it’s really impossible to tell what the club has planned.
