Boston Red Sox Eye Impactful Outfielder from Los Angeles Angels

The Boston Red Sox are actively seeking one or two key hitters to bolster their chances of contending for the 2025 World Series. While free-agent infielder Alex Bregman had been a target, reports suggest that he is increasingly linked to the Toronto Blue Jays and Detroit Tigers, making a move to Boston less likely.

As an alternative, FanSided’s Cody Williams has proposed that the Red Sox pursue Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward in a trade. Williams notes that while Ward’s numbers may not initially excite fans—he posted a .748 OPS last season and a career OPS of .758 as he approaches his age-31 season—his versatility and effectiveness against left-handed pitchers make him a valuable addition. Last season, Ward’s OPS against lefties was .873, and his career OPS against them stands at .805, significantly higher than his overall numbers.

Though Ward might not bring the star power of Bregman, he could fill a specific need for the Red Sox, contributing both defensively and offensively in a platoon role. While other moves would still be needed, acquiring Ward seems like a sensible step for Boston.

The key question, however, is whether the Angels would be willing to trade him.
