Red Sox target Zach Neto for offseason shortstop acquisition

Summary

The Boston Red Sox are being identified as a potential offseason destination for Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto. Despite acquiring multiple players before the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline, the Red Sox did not secure a high-impact shortstop. Neto, currently in a strong season with 19 home runs and 47 RBI, is viewed as a valuable addition given his age and performance. The Red Sox previously showed interest in Neto leading up to the trade deadline, and he remains under team control until 2029, making him an appealing target as the team seeks to enhance its roster for the next season.
