Report: Red Sox not prioritizing trade for Indians SS Francisco Lindor

The Red Sox aren’t planning on prioritizing a Francisco Lindor trade with the Indians this winter, according to a report from MLB.com’s Jon Morosi.

Will Red Sox pursue center fielders exclusively or might Chaim Bloom target corner outfielders?

The Boston Red Sox must either re-sign free agent center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. or find his replacement this winter. Chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom doesn’t necessarily need to target center fielders exclusively if he decides to replace Bradley. Bloom could sign or trade for a corner outfielder, then move either right fielder Alex Verdugo or left fielder Andrew Benintendi to center field.

Yankees could lose DJ LeMahieu to Mets or Red Sox in MLB free agency

Lowrie ended up signing a two-year, $20 million deal with the Mets and hardly got on the field, while LeMahieu went to the Yankees for two years and $24 million and blossomed into one of the game’s premier hitters. The Yankees’ pursuit of LeMahieu out of Colorado surprised some, since they had Gleyber Torres at second base, but it turned out to be exactly what the Yankees needed. If they want to keep him in The Bronx, the Yankees will almost certainly face tougher competition this time around.

A look at the top free agents, and how they could fit with the Red Sox

Red Sox outlook: For the moment, the Sox do not have a rotation beyond Nate Eovaldi. Chris Sale is not expected back until June; Eduardo Rodriguez is recovering from COVID-19; and Nick Pivetta and Tanner Houck are unproven. Finding low-cost, short-term options should be easy.

Report: Red Sox, Dustin Pedroia will meet soon to discuss how to end his playing career

The Red Sox added Dustin Pedroia to their 40-man roster earlier Saturday, but that doesn’t mean the injured second baseman will get to keep his roster spot for long. The Red Sox will soon meet with Pedroia to discuss “a mutual understanding that would end his playing career,” according to Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe. It appears Boston is likely to release Pedroia, who is due $12 million in 2021, the final season of the six-year, $85 million extension he signed with the club in July 2013.
