Paul Goldschmidt’s free agency: 5 possible landing spots

Boston Red Sox

The Red Sox were solid at the plate in 2024, ranking in the top 10 in the majors in home runs, average and OPS. However, adding another slugger this offseason will likely be a priority as Boston looks to catch the Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees in the AL East. That will be especially true if the club loses outfielder Tyler O’Neill in free agency who hit 31 home runs this past season. The Red Sox will still have two of their top hitters, Rafael Devers and Jarren Duran, in 2025 and have received decent production at first base from left-handed hitting first baseman Triston Casas when he has been in the lineup. Still, Goldschmidt could slot in as a valuable option from the right side of the plate for Boston’s lineup whether that be at first base or as the team’s designated hitter.
