The Red Sox have too many outfielders and not enough answers — here’s how Craig Breslow might fix it this winter

The Boston Red Sox face a crowded outfield and designated hitter rotation heading into the offseason, prompting questions about potential roster turnover. Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow must manage a group featuring everyday starters Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu, alongside Roman Anthony and Jarren Duran. With Boston seeking offensive upgrades at DH, moving Duran or Kristian Campbell via trade is reportedly under consideration to alleviate the logjam.

According to the analysis, moving Duran and his projected $11.1 million arbitration salary could free up resources for other roster needs. Meanwhile, designated hitter Masataka Yoshida is entering the final year of his contract and could be traded or designated for assignment. Potential free agent targets for designated hitter include Seiya Suzuki and Randy Arozarena, while Curtis Mead also remains an internal option.
