Whats the advantage of Schwarber over Alonso?
Both players come with impeccable durability. Schwarber played 150 games in 2024, which is the lowest total either played in the last 3 seasons.
Schwarber’s OPS+ over the last 3 years is 135. Alonso’s is right there at 130.
Alonso bats right-handed, which the Sox could use, actually plays 1b, and is a year younger.
So is Schwarber’s slight offensive advantage enough to offset that Alonso actually fills more voids (right-handed power, plays 1b)?
