Red Sox "Actively Trying To Add Right-Handed Hitter;" 2 Players Linked

The Boston Red Sox are in the market to bolster their lineup with a right-handed hitting outfielder, reflecting a strategic move to enhance their offensive capabilities.

Tommy Pham and Adam Duvall have been mentioned as potential targets, indicating the team's interest in experienced outfielders who can add depth and power to their batting order.

Interestingly, both players have had stints with Boston in the recent past.

Last season, Pham held a .256/.328/.446 triple-slash line, with 16 home runs, 68 RBIs, 22 stolen bases, and 55 runs scored across 129 games played.

He was a key part of the Arizona Diamondbacks' impressive World Series run, after being acquired at the trade deadline.

The Red Sox's pursuit of a right-handed hitter underscores their commitment to achieving a balanced and potent lineup, aiming to improve their competitiveness in the upcoming season.

A couple of notes from @alexspeier:

🔺Adam Duvall remains a possible target for the Red Sox.
🔺Several teams are calling on Jarren Duran, including the Padres.

The inclusion of players like Pham and Duvall would not only address the Red Sox's need for right-handed power but also offer versatility in the outfield.

Duvall was off to a red-hot start last season before an unfortunate injury knocked him out long-term. Still, he posted 21 home runs and 58 RBIs over 92 games played.

Both players have a track record of contributing both offensively and defensively, which aligns with the Red Sox's objective to strengthen their team on multiple fronts. Photo Credit: Eric Canha-USA TODAY Sports
