Red Sox Trade Target: Anthony Rizzo

Anthony Rizzo was once involved in a trade the Red Sox made to improve their first base situation, and now he could very well be a part of another such deal. In the first one, Rizzo was sent to San Diego as part of the package that brought Adrián Gonzalez to Boston. At the time, Rizzo was a valued prospect still in search of his first MLB appearance. Shortly after that deal, he was traded to the Cubs in 2012 and became one of the best first basemen in baseball, eventually helping the Cubs win the 2016 World Series (their first since 1908 if you missed that for some reason).
