MLB insider floats Pete Alonso as possible trade deadline target for Red Sox

It remains to be seen if the Red Sox will decide to be buyers at MLB’s July 30 trade deadline.

Boston has been on a roll for weeks, winning 10 of its last 13 games, and are currently holding onto the third wild-card spot in the American League.

If Craig Breslow does plan on adding to Boston’s roster, ESPN’s Jeff Passan thinks that the Red Sox could opt to swing for the fences with an elite power hitter.

In his latest piece projecting “ideal targets” for potential contending teams, Passan tabbed Mets first baseman Pete Alonso as a natural fit for a Boston lineup in need of more pop in the heart of its order.
