The Red Sox are being linked to several top free agents and appear poised to spend money this winter.
One player Boston is reportedly interested in signing plays a position the club isn’t necessarily in need of as the roster currently stands.
According to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand, the Red Sox (among other teams) are “expected to make a push” for Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames. It’s been floated that Adames could move to third base or second base upon signing, but Feinsand said that “would be surprising.”
Given that Boston employs Trevor Story at shortstop and franchise player Rafael Devers at third base, signing Adames would be a surprising move that comes with a massive ripple effect.
