Red Sox Seek Outfielder Amidst Infield Uncertainty
5 Feb
Summary
- Red Sox consider acquiring a right-handed outfielder.
- Infield positions remain a significant concern for the team.
- Club seeks to balance left-handed heavy lineup with right-handed bats.
As spring training nears, the Boston Red Sox face roster decisions, particularly concerning outfielders and infielders. The team currently boasts four MLB-caliber outfielders vying for three available spots. Despite this depth, Boston is reportedly exploring the possibility of acquiring an additional right-handed outfielder to complement their lineup, which is heavily weighted with left-handed hitters.
Compounding these considerations are persistent uncertainties within the infield. Following Alex Bregman's signing with the Chicago Cubs, the team's third base position is unclear. If Marcelo Mayer is moved to third, second base becomes vacant. The club also needs to solidify plans for Kristian Campbell, who showed promise early last season before struggling and spending the remainder of 2025 in Triple-A.
