00:10The Boston Red Sox, newly flushed with payroll flexibility and postseason frustrations,

00:15are reportedly eyeing the five-time All-Star slugger in free agency.

00:19That's according to reports which think that Boston could be one of the biggest players in this winter's market

00:25after clearing nearly $250 million off the books by dealing away Rafael Devers back in June.

01:29and pinstripes, are acting with clear purpose.

01:37signaling immediate contention, and see Alonso as more than just a power bat.

01:42He would symbolize a bolder, more aggressive identity in Boston's rebuild.

01:46While nothing is set in stone, the potential match is hard to ignore.
