Red Sox free agent idea brings in $33 million star to replace Trevor Story

The Boston Red Sox are no strangers to making big-time moves to their roster, and one just came this past week when the team shipped out slugger Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants.

Boston might not be done making major trades this season, which could set them up to have a ton of money to spend during the winter.

The Red Sox should look towards 2026 to open their postseason window, and a lot of that will depend on the free agents they add to their roster.

One player the Red Sox could target is Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette, and Drew Koch from Fansided thinks he could be a good fit for the team.

"All signs point to Trevor Story exercising his option, but that doesn't mean Boston can just ignore the middle infield," Koch wrote. "Bo Bichette is bouncing back following a down year in 2024 and will likely hit the free agent market this offseason. Depending on his 2025 campaign ends, Bichette may be looking for a pillow contract to reestablish his value and could be a buy-low candidate for Boston this winter."

Bichette is in the final year of his three-year, $33 million contract and would be a good option for the Red Sox to sign if starting shortstop Story does indeed exercise his option and become a free agent.
