Red Sox target Ryan Jeffers in free agency after Rutschman trade

The Boston Red Sox are pursuing catcher Ryan Jeffers in free agency, according to a report by Jon Heyman. This comes months after the team acquired Adley Rutschman in a significant trade. Jeffers, who has a.814 OPS, offers power that the Red Sox seek to enhance their lineup. Currently, the team deals with an outfield surplus, creating challenges for lineup decisions should they successfully sign Jeffers. Prospects for roster adjustments include potential departures for outfielders to make room for Jeffers.
