The\u00a0Boston Red Sox<\/a>\u00a0have been aggressive this winter, but there’s still a need for a few more pieces. On both sides of the baseball, the Red Sox could improve if they’re willing to spend money or trade prospects.<\/p>\n

Any bat would be a step in the right direction, with the infield being the most significant need.<\/p>\n

However, Boston is in a position where they can’t worry too much about what position a player plays. If said player would be an addition to the lineup, the Red Sox should look to make it happen.<\/p>\n

In a proposed trade from\u00a0Zach Pressnell of FanSided<\/a>, they’d accomplish just that. Pressnell proposed a trade that would send\u00a0Chicago Cubs<\/a>\u00a0outfielder Seiya Suzuki and cash considerations to Boston for\u00a0Jhostynxon Garcia and Nazzan Zanetello, two top 15 prospects in the Red Sox system, according to most publications.<\/p>\n

“Suzuki would be a huge addition for the Red Sox, though they don’t desperately need outfielders. Adding a slugger like the righty would be a much-needed addition of power in Boston’s lineup,” Pressnell wrote.<\/p>\n
