Red Sox likely to land one of three sluggers
The Boston Red Sox are looking to upgrade their lineup by adding a power bat to their lineup and are targeting Eric Hosmer, J.D. Martinez, and Carlos Santana. According to ESPN's Buster Olney, Boston is likely to land one of those three.
The Red Sox saw their arch rivals land best available slugger, but Boston actually in a good position to land 1 of 3 of J.D. Martinez/Carlos Santana/Hosmer, because the # of teams willing to spend big, big dollars on a hitter is limited. The FAs need BOS as much as it needs them.

Boston has also said they're willing to trade Jackie Bradley Jr. in order to acquire a power bat.
