The Atlanta Braves and Boston Red Sox are being linked to one of baseball's star free agents with the offseason just getting started.
In a recent article for ESPN, David Schoenfield named the Braves and Red Sox as the top fits for star free agent outfielder Randy Arozarena this offseason.
"Arozarena has reportedly expressed a desire to return to the East Coast. If that's the case, there are two logical fits in the Braves and Red Sox," Schoenfield wrote.

Seeing the Braves and Red Sox being connected to Arozarena makes sense. Both teams need help in their outfields and are in their contention window. Thus, it would be completely understandable if they are among the teams in the mix for Arozarena this offseason.
Arozarena would provide either the Braves' or Red Sox's outfield with a real boost if either team landed him. This is because he is a star power hitter who is also effective on the basepaths. Thus, he would be a major addition for either Boston or Atlanta if signed.
Arozarena just had an excellent season with the Seattle Mariners in 2026. In 154 games with Seattle this campaign, he posted 26 home runs, 26 stolen bases, 79 RBI, and a .281 batting average. With numbers like these, it would make sense for both the Braves and the Red Sox to target him. It will be interesting to see if either of these clubs can win the Arozarena sweepstakes from here.
