The Boston Red Sox are making waves in the offseason market, but despite their reported interest in Juan Soto, it seems their focus might be shifting. According to MLB<\/a> insider Jim Bowden<\/a>, Boston has other priorities in mind as they aim to strengthen their roster.<\/p>

In a mailbag column for The Athletic<\/em>, Bowden shared his thoughts: <\/p>

\n

“I also see them adding a bat, with [Teoscar] Hernández or [Anthony] Santander more likely than Soto.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>

Hernández’s Fenway aspirations<\/h2>

Teoscar Hernández has long been linked with Boston, even before joining the Los Angeles Dodgers last season. The 2024 campaign proved fruitful for Hernández—he played a pivotal role in securing a World Series title for the Dodgers while posting a .272 batting average and crushing a career-high 33 home runs.<\/p>

What’s more, Hernández has publicly expressed his interest in playing at Fenway Park, making him a natural fit for the Red Sox as they seek to add power to their lineup.<\/p>

Santander’s consistent power<\/h2>

Anthony Santander is another name in the mix. The 30-year-old switch-hitter has spent his entire career with the Baltimore Orioles, building a reputation as a reliable slugger. Last season, Santander hit a career-best 44 home runs, further cementing his status as a solid offensive option.<\/p>

While his career batting average sits at .246, Santander’s power at the plate could fill the void in Boston’s right-handed lineup.<\/p>

Bigger moves on the pitching front<\/h2>

Beyond adding a bat, Boston is heavily invested in upgrading their pitching rotation. Bowden highlighted three significant names on their radar:<\/p>

\n

“They seem more committed to the starting pitching side of the market and are playing on Corbin Burnes, Max Fried, and Roki Sasaki. And I won’t be surprised if they land two of them.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>

Adding elite starters like Burnes, Fried, or the young Japanese phenom Sasaki could be transformative for the Red Sox. With pitching being a glaring need, Boston appears poised to make aggressive moves.<\/p>

Soto still dominates the headlines<\/h2>

Despite all the chatter about Hernández, Santander, and potential pitching acquisitions, Soto’s name remains at the forefront of offseason discussions. The 25-year-old superstar is arguably the most coveted free agent available, and his decision will set the tone for the rest of the market.<\/p>

If the Red Sox miss out on Juan Soto, their contingency plan seems clear: add power with either Hernández or Santander while shoring up the rotation with at least one marquee arm. For Boston fans, it’s shaping up to be an exciting—and potentially transformative—offseason.<\/p>
