The Boston Red Sox may not be particularly interested in bringing this slugger back for a second season.
For all the talk about the Boston Red Sox needing more right-handed hitters, there seems to be very little talk about bringing back their top righty bat from the 2024 team.
Regardless, 30-homer bats don't grow on trees, and O'Neill will be a popular target in free agency among teams looking to add pop. If the Red Sox weren't willing to tender him the one-year, $21 million qualifying offer, it also seems unlikely they'd be willing to give him a lucrative multi-year deal.would land with the Pittsburgh Pirates this winter. The same publication projected O'Neill for a three-year, $45 million contract earlier this month.
"He played 113 games for Boston as he dealt with a variety of minor issues. A team like Pittsburgh, which isn’t too far away from contending in the National League Central, should be willing to risk a three-year deal on a player with O’Neill’s upside."
