Red Sox targeting former Yankees player Dominic Smith

The Boston Red Sox are working to improve their team before the 2025 season begins. This offseason, they made a key addition by signing Alex Bregman from the Houston Astros. The move is expected to enhance their offense. Experts believe the Red Sox may perform better than their rivals, the New York Yankees, who are dealing with several injuries as Opening Day approaches. The Red Sox are eyeing another player to strengthen their lineup. Boston is reportedly in talks with Dominic Smith, a former Yankees player. Smith recently left the team when they did not offer him a spot on the roster. He previously had a short but successful stint with the Red Sox, hitting six home runs during that time. After being sent to the minor leagues in January, Smith showed promise in AAA. However, the Yankees chose not to keep him on the major league team. Now, the Red Sox see him as a good fit. Adding Smith could provide depth to the Red Sox's roster. He could serve as a pinch hitter and improve their defense. With a long season ahead, having a solid bench option will be important. His best performance was in 2023 when he hit twelve home runs. Meanwhile, the Yankees are also looking for a utility player to boost their squad.
