The Boston Red Sox are in the thick of a tight American League Wild Card race. They are just 0.5 games behind the New York Yankees for the top Wild Card spot, which would give them a three-game home playoff series. Boston has done all the right things this season by trading for and extending Garrett Crochet. They also signed Alex Bregman, signed Aroldis Chapman, and signed young star Roman Anthony to an eight-year deal. With the offseason potentially a month away for the Red Sox, there are multiple players president of baseball operations, Craig Breslow, should have his eye on. Phillies' star Kyle Schwarber should be at the top of the list in what would be a reunion.In a recent Bleacher Report piece that projects every team's 2026 Opening Day lineup, Kyle Schwarber is surprisingly the cleanup hitter for the Boston Red Sox:"The Red Sox still owe Masataka Yoshida $37.2 million over the final two years of his contract, but his DH-only profile and lack of production during an injury-plagued 2025 campaign could lead to a buy-low trade or his outright release. Re-allocating Alex Bregman's money when he inevitably opts out to sign Kyle Schwarber would bolster the offense while keeping a path open for the young infielders."The ideal situation is the Red Sox trade away Masataka Yoshida for Kyle Schwarber. Schwarber has been an MVP-caliber player this season. His numbers are incredible, and he even has a four-home run game this season. In 144 games in 2025, Schwarber has 49 home runs and 120 RBIs. His OPS is .925, which is so impressive for a player like Schwarber, who is known to strike out at a high rate. He's on the doorstep of a 50-home run season, and the 49 he already has is a career-high. Signing Schwarber would be a huge splash for the Boston Red Sox in free agency. he spent 41 games with the Red Sox back in 2021, where he hit seven home runs in 134 at-bats. Schwarber is 32 years old, so he isn't likely going to get one of those monster contracts for 10+ years worth more than $300 million, but there's no doubt the AAV on his deal is going to be among the highest in free agency. The Schwarber sweepstakes will be one of the best to follow following the season, and if the Red Sox can pull off the signing, their offense would be set for the next several seasons.
