Part 5/11:
Power-hitter with a high ceiling, capable of driving in runs and changing games with his bat.
Demonstrated improvement and adaptability, with swing adjustments leading to better contact and fewer strikeouts.
Defensive & Positional Notes:
Right-handed thrower, primarily plays first base.
Defense and speed may be waning, hinting at a full transition to DH eventually.
Solid offensive profile, making him a primary target for the Red Sox.
Bidding War & Boston’s Advantage:
Reports suggest that the Phillies are eager to retain Schwarber, but less so Alonso, indicating Boston could secure him as a premier addition. Alonso's combination of power, improved contact, and potential for a long-term contract makes him Boston’s most coveted offseason target.
