The Boston Red Sox have made a few moves to improve on their terrible 2024 season, but they really haven’t made any game-breaking deals yet.

This could change if Boston signs a free agent like Alex Bregman, but the Red Sox appear to be drifting out of the Bregman sweepstakes. If they fall completely out of it, they must make a move to save their offseason.

Cody Williams of FanSided recently projected that if the Red Sox miss out on Bregman, they will make a big trade for rival phenom Vladimir Guerrero Jr. This is, of course, assuming that the Toronto Blue Jays decide to trade him, which is still highly unlikely at this time.

“The Red Sox have long felt like the best next landing spot for Guerrero and it’s hard for me to also not think that some of the slow-playing we’ve seen in this offseason from (Craig) Breslow is with eyes on Vladdy next winter,” Williams tweeted. “But they could also jumpstart that process by making an offer to Marcelo Mayer and a number of other prospects. Even with the (Garrett) Crochet trade, Boston has one of the strongest farm systems in baseball, which could undoubtedly help the Blue Jays begin a new chapter without Vlad and Bo Bichette.”

Again, the Blue Jays are unlikely to trade Guerrero, but if they do, the Red Sox could be the top suitor.

In a transaction like this, Toronto may not want to sell a superstar to a division opponent, but the Red Sox may provide the greatest package for him. Players like as Triston Casas, Wilyer Abreu, Marcelo Mayer, and a slew of more prospects might be included to make the deal happen.
