Red Sox mailbag: Who is most at risk of being non-tendered this offseason?

Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald examines the Boston Red Sox's looming offseason 40-man roster crunch and arbitration decisions following the end of their 2026 campaign. Facing an influx of seven players returning from the 60-day injured list, Cerullo highlights outfielder Jarren Duran as a potential non-tender or trade candidate given his projected $11.1 million arbitration salary.

Cerullo also identifies Kutter Crawford, Triston Casas, Romy Gonzalez, and Andruw Monasterio as other notable arbitration-eligible players who could face roster uncertainty. The writer argues that clearing salary from players like Duran could help Boston target high-profile additions such as free-agent outfielder Randy Arozarena.
