This right-handed power hitter could be just the thing the Boston Red Sox need to go far in 2025.
There's a ton of young talent on this Red Sox team, which is reason to get excited about the 2025 season. But unfortunately, much of that talent in the lineup bats left-handed, and the Red Sox play in a ballpark that favors right-handed hitters, particularly those with power.
Zachary D. Rymer of Bleacher Report implored Boston to look into Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker, who he listed among aa bad place to hit home runs. Even Walker occasionally felt the brunt of that. He hit 52 home runs on the road between 2022 and 2024, compared to 43 at home. That's despite a difference of just three games played," Rymer said.
Walker will turn 34 in March, so he will likely sign for a lower dollar amount than a typical free agent who has totaled 95 home runs in his last three seasons. Spotrac currently projects him for a three-year, $66 million contract, which the Red Sox could turn into an all-time bargain if he follows through on Rymer's 40-homer prediction.
