Pete Alonso’s connection to Boston may go deeper than just a fit on paper, which could make him a realistic free agent target for the Red Sox this winter. The New York Mets slugger, who owns an .859 career OPS and 18 home runs this season, has long been one of the game’s most consistent power threats. With the Red Sox weighing upgrades at first base, Alonso’s name is beginning to surface — and for good reason. “He’s better when he goes the other way, but the Green Monster couldn’t hurt, either,” Jon Heyman of the New York Post wrote, pointing to Alonso’s offensive profile and a personal tie: his wife is from Boston.
