Ahead of Christmas, the Red Sox appear to be shopping at high-end boutiques in the trade market at the Winter Meetings in Florida.
According to a report in the Boston Globe, Rangers shortstop Corey Seager is the latest former All-Star infielder that Craig Breslow has had discussions about this offseason.
The 31-year-old, four-time All-Star with the Rangers and Dodgers, hit 21 home runs in 100 games last year. Seager has received MVP votes in five different seasons, including 2024.
Seager is a two-time World Series winner and was named the MVP both times. He has 19 home runs in 78 career playoff games. He has a postseason slash line of .251/.347/.505. over seven seasons.
He’s signed through 2031 as part of a 10-year, $325 million deal he signed with Texas.
Seager joins other All-Star infielders previously tied to Boston in trade rumors, including:
The Red Sox are expected to be active potential traders, both because of their deep farm system and starting pitching depth.
They’ve also met with Mets slugger Pete Alonso in person at the Winter Meetings.
