The Boston Red Sox have been connected to a high-profile infielder carrying a $148.78 million contract in a speculative offseason trade scenario outlined by The Sporting News. The proposal, described as a "wild" idea, suggests Boston could pursue the unnamed superstar to bolster its infield depth ahead of the 2027 season.
Writer Conor Liguori presented the concept as a theoretical exercise rather than a reported negotiation. No specific player was identified in the piece, and no discussions between clubs have been confirmed. The Red Sox front office has not commented on the speculation.
