The Boston Red Sox, after struggling offensively during the postseason, are expected to seek improvements this offseason. Adding offensive talent is a priority, and one potential target is Jeremy Peña, the 29-year-old World Series MVP. Peña has shown consistent power, hitting 22 home runs this season. The Houston Astros may entertain trade offers for Peña, especially after his agent, Scott Boras, took over negotiations, implying a long-term extension is less likely. The Red Sox have the assets to facilitate such a trade, aiming to bolster their lineup ahead of the next season.
- •Red Sox aim to enhance offensive capabilities this offseason.
- •Jeremy Peña had 22 home runs and a 124 OPS+ this season.
- •Peña is under contract with the Astros until 2028.
- •Scott Boras becoming Peña's agent affects future negotiations.
