The Red Sox could use some outfield help and power after trading away Hunter Renfroe and his 31 home runs after the end of the 2021 season.
Turns out, they might be getting ready to make a splash in order to get it.
A report from Yahoo! Japan this week says the Red Sox could be the front-runners to land Japanese star Seiya Suzuki to a free-agent deal, and the team might reach an agreement with the outfielder when the MLB lockout lifts.
Previous updates suggested the Red Sox were among three American League East teams, including the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees, vying for Suzuki’s services before the lockout shut down operations.
