Could The Red Sox TRADE For Met's ALL-STAR Pete Alonso!?

[@distractionsinthewind9976]

Thanks Corbin. The management will not do it.

[@saltygrampy]

This trade would make more sense, if it was made a week after Casas got hurt.. But his bat sure is heck would play at fenway park...

You can play both

[@gauris24]

I like the idea of adding a rh power bat to slot in the middle of this lineup but I have a hard time seeing an Alonso fit. With Casas returning and Yoshida still around, I don’t see the Sox giving up prospects for a rental in Alonso when 1b will be more than spoken for very shortly. I think as you pointed out in another video, middle IF rh power like dejong is much more realistic. Either way, I do hope we’re adding at the deadline!

[@traci635]

We have Casas and don't need an older, expensive 1B. We need to stock pile more pitching in my opinion. Great video though Corbin 👍

[@shootermcgavin18]

that would be amazing . Prosepcts are cool but they don't all pan out and we have a billion left handed hitters .

[@redseatradio]

True at some point you gotta do something with some of them why not Pete

[@kyletanabe6188]

It would mean pretty much giving up on Masa. He's already not getting enough consistent at bats. Do this and he will get hardly any. So unless you also plan to get rid of him, it's not a great fit. Plus Sox need pitching and a short stop. Not a 1st base/DH. With Casas coming back there's no need for one.

[@redseatradio]

Yeah I think that would have to come with it which is another level that makes this harder to process

[@MatthewVasel]

Hope the Red Sox get good pitching

[@sixandup939]

Would be nice, but I don’t see the front office making any big splashes. Maybe an average player or something cheap.

[@traci635]

We need a young controllable pitcher, not an older 1B.

[@petergarcia6645]

I'd definitely want Alonso on this team however I don't think it's going to happen. The Sox biggest need is another starting pitcher and the Mets actually have a chance to make the playoffs themselves. It's an interesting point but unlikely to happen.

[@redseatradio]

You should be able to get both a starter and a big bat

[@christophermatthews3977]

I think they should go for the cheaper option, Luis Rengifo.

[@redseatradio]

Cost controlled young SS? Probably wouldn’t be honestly

[@Captricio]

You should make a video about what u think is the best possible lineup would be with the current players on the roster (including injuries). It would be interesting who you would say is our best 2B (I personally think Hamilton but idk) or who our outfielders would be and maybe who you believe should be in the bullpen.

[@smokedogg19821]

It would be nice to have Alonzo especially with Yoshida not producing. I don't think the office will make a move at all though. While we are dreaming though it sure would be nice if we could pick up Gunnar Henderson and Shohei Ohtani before the deadline too.

[@sggaming4720]

[@jaredpasqua2760]

You completely left out the fact Yoshida is basically the full time DH

[@Malista1re]

red sox are definitely gonna grab luzardo in the off-season. We have an exact need for a top end lefty starter, we have a bit of logjam of prospects, and his value is at an all time low + Andrew Bailey could definitely fix him.

[@redseatradio]

Maybe but with the injuries the Sox have dealt with this year and the last couple of years they may want someone with a better track record

[@user-rt2ir6hr6g]

We have enough hitting. Way short on pitching, especially with Bello tanking.

[@josephdubiel7129]

I would need a lot more team control attached to this deal to make it worth it to the Redsox. Alonzo would be here for a very short time and then he is a free agent. I doubt Breslow would sign off on the deal. I know that I would not. The Mets would require more of a package then the Redsox should give for such a short term gain. I will be shocked if it happens.

[@fastfrank42]

I was OK with the trade until I saw Pavetta on the list. It's a nice idea but doesn't solve the most important problems. In fact, that trade creates more problems than it solves. The RedSox needs a starting pitcher and a hitting shortstop, not another 1st baseman. The Mets are most likely working on resigning him.

[@redseatradio]

Again like I said 2x in this video the trades on the screen were simply a gauge as to what the values would look like not a legitimate trade that would work for both sides

[@separatepeace2432]

If there’s a scenario where the Sox could include Yoshida in a trade for Alonzo I think it would be a slam dunk.

If you trade Yoshida you're going to have to eat most of that contract.

[@PortugueseKeto]

I think that getting JD Martinez back would make more sense for both teams. For the Red Sox, he's a quality right handed hitter with good power (like Alonso) but makes 3/5 the salary. They both walk next year, and both are DH/1B types (although JD is less of a 1B and more DH). It would also take less for the Red Sox to get JD in terms of prospects, since he's much older. But ultimately I don't think the trade will happen, as much as I'd like either player to play in Boston, since what the Sox really need is another solid starter.

[@redseatradio]

JD has absolutely no fielding versatility and is strictly a DH so I would assume that isn’t someone that they are super interested in

Corbin ... Have to agree that with the NY Mets being in wildcard contention, it is highly doubtful they would be willing to trade Pete Alonzo which would greatly anger their loyal fan base ... I also am of the same opinion that Craig Breslow would not be willing to overpay on a "two month rental" for his services should the Mets quickly fall out of the NL playoff picture ... However, should the Blue Jays continue to remain in 5th place in the AL East, do you think there might be a possibility of Justin Turner returning to Boston ??? ...

[@alt777-in9lw]

It's called DH/1st base......right handed power playing all the time. This is Fenway! He's not going to replace Casas but he will spell him if needed at times.....I'm in!! A solid player.

[@erikjager4704]

Pete Alonso is somewhat the RS need, but how would the RS use him with Casas? Alonso is only on a 2 WAR pace, so how much is he really worth? Alonso is a poor defender. I entirely agree you(gag gag barf) that there will a bidding war for him. Basically, the cost will be high for his name reputation. Is the cost of Nazzan +Wikelman + his salary worth 2 months of Alonso?

[@redseatradio]

That’s the question. To be honest I don’t really care about WAR for first basemen it unless you are the best in baseball it will never stack up to basically any other position

[@andrewfarelli9241]

I'm thinking we should add a starting pitcher like Yusei Kikuchi or Jack Flaherty to be able to bump Bello into a long relief role and get rid of Chase Anderson. Trading for Paul DeJong would help shore up the middle infield and adding a better catcher like Danny Jansen, Carson Kelly or Elias Diaz could help the Sox get rid of a struggling Reese McGuire. I could see the Sox going for Alonso if Yoshida gets injured again as they're probably going to want to give Yoshida the majority of the DH opportunity since he's getting paid so much $.

[@brentbell7235]

Not going to happen. The cost would be too great for a rental. Alonzo would lift the Red Sox up, but not enough to put the Red Sox into contention for a Pennant let alone the World Series champion. If they get to the All Star break playing like they have been recently, they will be worthy of an investment. It would send a positive message to the team, Cora, and the fan base. With regard to the right hand bat I like the idea of Justin Turner coming back to the Sox. He fit so well with the organization, the fans love him. That veteran presence in the club house, the fact he would be playing meaningful baseball would set him up for a productive second half. Given his age, his status as a short term rental means he will be relatively affordable. The Sox have 50 plus minor league players eligible for Rule 5. The Sox need to decide who they intend to protect via the 40 man roster, and deal from the pool that will likely be lost to Rule 5. Then it becomes an exercise of who fits with Toronto, and will not be blocked in 2025.

[@derricklavoie2513]

YYYYYEEEEEESSSSSS. Love this if it happens. We need another stud SP as well as

[@redseatradio]

A controllable starter for me is the main target this deadline for sure

[@kylebowers1761]

Just as not likely to happen for a lot of the same reasons, but I still think Vlad Guerrero Jr. would be a great fit, and I believe he still has a year of control left after 2024. I can't imagine what it would take to get him over here, but he would fill a very similar role as Alonso would. Maybe the Jays would be more willing to sell on a down year? Also saw an article about making a trade to Texas to get Nate Eovaldi back. Could certainly use the starting pitching depth. One or two big moves could take them from a wildcard fringe team to major contenders in not a lot of time. Either way, I'm excited to see our current guys keep playing the way they have and am looking forward to what they do in the future!

[@redseatradio]

Yeah Vladdy would be more sustainable but he would certainly cost significantly more here and if Pete is someone they may not reach for Vladdy is extremely off limits

[@kylebowers1761]

@@redseatradio While I definitely agree that it will never (unfortunately) happen, I'd argue that he'd be about as likely as Alonso, especially since he has one more year in contract and the Jays are struggling. I actually wouldn't be too horribly surprised if they reach out to the Jays about Justin Turner either. Certainly not as dynamic, but fills that same DH/back up first & third slot, and we already knows he loves it in Boston. He'd certainly be easier to get, and has less commitment.

[@Bondagefetishstore]

The only way the Red Sox would go for something like this is if they could move Masataka Yoshida in the deal. There is no way they would move Nick Privet unless they had another solution for starting pitching which is what I would like to see. I would be a little reluctant to give up Blaze Jordon because he will be the back up in minors if Tristan gets hurt again. By getting rid of Yoshida it gets rid of salary and gives long term flexibility,j Trading away players who rule 5 eligibility comes up in December is smart. But we need starting pitching first. Would Martin or Jansen make sense for the Mets if they subjected Alonso? What do the Mets need to make them better now? Maybe if they got a third team involved. When proposing a trade. You need to do it through Craig Breslow's eyes. He has stated he will not make a trade for 2024 unless it helps for 2025. A rental will help if getting rid of long term salary.

[@user-sp3pv8dv1b]

I'm with donaldmjordan. The Sox are scoring enough to contend, and that probably even improves when Casas returns. Offense is not a need. I don't believe the Sox have the pitching, with the starters' performances dropping already and all of them about to blow by their previous innings limits. So if anything, get a starter. An overpay for something you don't really need is bad, but if it takes any contributor from the major league roster, it's self-defeating. You gain something for this year, but you also lose something for this year. Plus you probably lose some prospects for the future. If it meant giving up any current pitcher, that's the worst-case scenario.

[@redseatradio]

Some of those performances are not going to sustain the full year. As a team you should be able to get both
