Red Sox Check One Box With Willson Contreras, Keep Offense Search Open

The Red Sox acquired Contreras from the Padres to split first base and DH, sending three pitchers led by Hunter Dobbins. Contreras has posted a 123 OPS+ or better in each of the last three seasons and hit .344 with runners in scoring position last year. The move adds power; Boston is pursuing another bat, with Bregman priority still.
