Report: Red Sox showing ‘continued trade interest' in Orioles' Manny Machado

Share

It's been an uncomfortably quiet offseason thus far for the Red Sox, as their search continues for a big bat.

Free agent slugger J.D. Martinez has been the name floated around recently, but the Red Sox seem to have another plan in mind. According to MLB Network's Jon Morosi, Boston is showing "continued trade interest" in Orioles star infielder Manny Machado.

While this might seem like an odd fit considering Machado's history with the Red Sox, it certainly would give Boston the boost it needs in the middle of the lineup.

Machado reportedly wants to play shortstop in 2018. The 25-year-old slugger and two-time Gold Glover, who hit .259 with 33 home runs and 95 runs batted in a season ago, is entering the final year of his contract.
