Pair Of Free Agents Sluggers Mentioned As Possible Options For Red Sox

Boston still has a lot of work to do to improve the roster

The Boston Red Sox still have some time to improve the roster.

Boston has had a polarizing offseason, to say the least. The Red Sox have made some intriguing additions by picking up Lucas Giolito, Vaughn Grissom, and Tyler O'Neill. 

While this is the case, there still are some holes on the Boston roster. The starting rotation certainly is the club's weakest area. There still are some top options available like Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery but they seem unlikely at this point.

Boston also has been linked to multiple right-handed sluggers to help fill Justin Turner's role on the roster. It's unclear if the Red Sox actually will sign someone, though.

If Boston were to sign another hitter, two possible options could be Jorge Soler or Adam Duvall, according to the Boston Globe's Alex Speier.

"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 said. "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."

Soler and Duvall have been linked to the Red Sox on numerous occasions. Boston has continued to be linked to seemingly every big-name free agent available but hasn't gotten deals done.

Landing either Soler or Duvall would make plenty of sense to fill Turner's spot on the roster but there really is no way to know what the club's plans are at this point in the offseason.
