Red Sox given 6 free agent solutions after missing out on Pete Alonso, Kyle Schwarber originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here. The Boston Red Sox were thought to be interested in free agents Pete Alonso and Kyle Schwarber.

The Mets lost Alonso a day after All-Star closer Edwin Díaz agreed to leave New York for a $69 million, three-year contract with the two-time defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers, a deal still not finalized. New York also traded outfielder Brandon Nimmo to Texas on Nov. 24 for Gold Glove second baseman Marcus Semien.

Former Orioles skipper Buck Showalter knows the type of player and person Baltimore added in slugger Pete Alonso.

In the wake of Alonso and Diaz’s departures, owner Steve Cohen told The Post’s Jon Heyman in a text message “there’s a lot of offseason left to put a team on the field.” However, Frazier disputed the logic in breaking up the core over one disappointing season.
