Could Boston be a landing spot for Pete Alonso?&nbsp;

He’s better when he goes the other way, but the Green Monster couldn’t hurt, either.&nbsp;

Even before Tristan Casas <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/05/03/sports/red-sox-star-triston-casas-suffers-likely-season-ending-ruptured-tendon/">was injured</a>, the Red Sox didn’t seem sold on Casas. They will need to replace Rafael Devers’ bat (even if they re-sign Alex Bregman — no guarantee). Alonso, whose wife is from Boston, is practically a Devers duplicate offensively (.859 career OPS for Alonso to .856 for Devers) who embraces 1B.&nbsp;

Bregman surely won’t exercise his option to stay ($80M, two years) but he’s open to extension in Boston, which fits him. Talks haven’t begun yet but there’s pressure to lock up Bregman after <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/16/sports/the-drama-behind-red-sox-trading-rafael-devers-in-shocking-blockbuster/">trading Devers to make room for him at 3B</a>.&nbsp;

Could Boston be a landing spot for Pete Alonso?{ai:summary}<p>Boston may be considering Pete Alonso as a potential addition, especially with uncertainty surrounding Tristan Casas and the need to replace Rafael Devers' offensive output. Alonso's offensive stats closely mirror Devers', making him a viable candidate for the Red Sox.</p><p>Additionally, Alex Bregman might not opt into his current contract but is open to an extension with Boston, potentially creating a scenario where the team needs to make strategic moves regarding their infield. #sports</p>

Pete Alonso could be perfect Red Sox fit in free agency
