In the early 2020s, Boston Red Sox fans hoped then-top prospect slugger Bobby Dalbec would become a staple of the big league team. After multiple attempts at sticking in the major leagues, he couldn't work out his consistency issues.
The Red Sox designated Dalbec for assignment in 2024 after parts of five seasons in the big leagues, each worse than the last. He left Boston a career .222/.290/.425 hitter in the majors and signed with the White Sox for the 2025 season, where he posted very similar results in the big leagues and moved around the minor leagues in the Brewers and Royals organizations.
