The MLB is still trying to piece itself together after the New York Yankees blew it up into pieces after their blockbuster trade to acquire reigning NL MVP Giancarlo Stanton from the Miami Marlins.





The first team that comes to mind when it comes to which team probably hated this trade the most was no other than AL East rival Boston Red Sox, who may be trying to make a few moves of their own before winter meetings commence.





According to reports, the Red Sox are interested in trading for Kyle Schwarber.

It would be a tough part for the Chicago Cubs, who still have the young utility slugger under contract for the next five years, but the Red Sox are currently looking for a big bat who could occupy the designated hitter slot.





Schwarber seems better fitted to that role than an everyday outfielder, but the offer would need to be monstrous for the Cubs to consider trading Schwarber.

Per @ScottLauber, the Red Sox are interested in Kyle Schwarber. Theo loves him like a firstborn so I’d be shocked if anything happened there. — Jared Carrabis (@Jared_Carrabis) December 10, 2017

Despite a somewhat slow year for him in 2017 after trying to bounce back from an injury in 2016 that sidelined him for practically the entire season, the 24-year-old still was able to put up a solid performance at the plate, hitting 30 home runs.





His batting average was poor, but he could be just what the Sox need to solidify a lineup that is missing a bit of power.





The winter meetings are just getting going and the rumors are already smoking hot.
