Trey Mancini
Until the 2022 trade deadline, Trey Mancini had spent his entire big-league career in the American League East, so bringing him back to the division would make sense.
The former Oriole’s career numbers at Fenway Park are impressive. Over 39 games, he’s hit .338/.401/.563 with 51 hits, including 13 doubles, three triples, and five home runs. His hits, doubles, 30 RBI in Boston are the most he’s collected anywhere other than Baltimore.
Here’s how he hits at the other ballparks in the division:
- Baltimore (354 games): .279/.342/.484, 70 doubles, 5 triples, 64 HR
- Tampa (44): .232/.300/.384, 7 doubles, 6 HR
- Toronto (34): .299/.357/.504, 9 doubles, 1 triple, 5 HR
- New York (42): .250/.321/.419, 8 doubles, 7 HR
A left-fielder/first baseman/DH, Mancini wouldn’t quite be able to replicate JD Martinez’s power in the DH spot, but over his six-year career, he’s averaged 24 doubles and 21 home runs. Of course, the Sox don’t really need a third first baseman, but if he can play the outfield and DH, he might be the perfect fit.
