As the MLB’s July 30 trade deadline approaches, the Boston Red Sox face a decision on whether to act as buyers, a role they’ve often avoided in recent seasons, contributing to their absence from the postseason in four of the last five years.

Currently riding a successful stretch with 10 wins in their last 13 games as of June 27, the Red Sox hold the third wild-card spot in the American League. This performance has sparked hopes among fans that the front office will make moves to bolster the team before the deadline.

Craig Breslow, the Red Sox chief baseball officer and key decision-maker, may look to make significant improvements to the roster. ESPN’s Jeff Passan has identified Mets first baseman Pete Alonso as a prime target for Boston. Passan suggests that Alonso’s addition could provide crucial power in the middle of the lineup, potentially enhancing their playoff prospects.

Should the Red Sox continue their strong form into July and solidify their playoff position, Passan believes they should engage the Mets in discussions about acquiring Alonso, despite the impending return of first baseman Triston Casas in early July. The Red Sox have struggled with production from the designated hitter position, making upgrades like Alonso particularly appealing.

Meanwhile, the New York Mets, currently rejuvenated with a 39-39 record as of June 27, find themselves in contention for the National League playoffs. However, Alonso’s impending free agency presents a dilemma for Mets owner Steve Cohen. The Mets must decide whether to retain Alonso for a postseason push, capitalize on his trade value to address other team needs, or bolster their farm system for future growth.

Alonso, known for his power at the plate, has posted solid numbers in the 2024 season with 16 home runs and 43 RBIs through 77 games, despite a batting average of .240. His ability to impact games with his bat makes him a sought-after commodity as the trade deadline approaches, not only for the Red Sox but also for other contenders such as the Astros, Guardians, Mariners, Twins, and the Yankees.

For the Red Sox, acquiring Alonso could provide a significant offensive boost as they aim to make a serious push toward the postseason.
