Red Sox Rumors: All-Star Slugger Viewed As ‘Fallback Option’ For Boston

With Kyle Schwarber reportedly off the board after re-signing with the Phillies and Pete Alonso still surfacing in rumors, the Red Sox are laying out all their options.

That includes free-agent slugger Eugenio Suárez, the Boston Globe’s Alex Speier wrote Tuesday from MLB Winter Meetings in Orlando.

Suárez reportedly came up in conversations and is being viewed as a “fallback option” should the Red Sox not retain third baseman Alex Bregman or sign Alonso, who could play first base and serve as a designated hitter.
