GAME CHANGER: Why Boston Red Sox MUST LAND Pete Alonso — Boost Offense and DOMINATE 2026

Boston Red Sox target a lineup transformation as Pete Alonso’s possible arrival at the Winter Meetings sparks excitement. Can Alonso’s power bat provide the home run threat the Red Sox desperately need and fill the void left by Rafael Devers? Gabby (Hurlbut) Maljanian examines Alonso’s fit in Boston, Craig Breslow’s roster priorities, and the potential ripple effects on Triston Casas and the middle of the order. The episode also breaks down Minnesota Twins’ decision to hold onto Joe Ryan, shifting the Red Sox’s focus to potential trades with the Kansas City Royals for Cole Ragans or Kris Bubic. With surplus outfielders like Jarren Duran in play and pitching depth as trade chips, the Red Sox have crucial decisions ahead. Will they land the slugger and a true No. 2 starter before the offseason ends?
