""Even before Tristan Casas was injured, the Red Sox didn't seem sold on Casas. They will need to replace Rafael Devers' bat (even if they re-sign Alex Bregman - no guarantee). Alonso, whose wife is from Boston, is practically a Devers duplicate offensively (.859 career OPS for Alonso to .856 for Devers) who embraces 1B.""
""Signing Alonso would kill a few birds with one stone for the Red Sox. Beyond the obvious need for a first baseman, Alonso has been one of the top right-handed hitting sluggers since he entered the league in 2019, hitting at least 30 home runs in every season (excluding the COVID-shortened 2020 season).""
The Red Sox are in need of a full-time first baseman due to Triston Casas's injury. Mets star Pete Alonso is expected to hit free agency and is seen as a prime target for Boston. His offensive production is comparable to Rafael Devers, making him a strategic fit. Alonso has consistently been a power hitter, hitting at least 30 home runs each season, and is having a standout year with a .290 batting average and 73 RBIs. Adding him would address multiple roster needs for the Red Sox.
