The Boston Red Sox could be in the market for a first baseman this month. While their current platoon has gotten the job done, an upgrade could be key in making a deep run in October.

The Red Sox would benefit from adding a starter after losing Hunter Dobbins for the year due to a torn ACL and Tanner Houck remaining on the injured list after his rehab assignment. Lucas Giolito and Brayan Bello have shown signs of improvement, but starters not named Garrett Crochet have struggled to find a consistent groove.
