Red Sox’ reported interest in outfielder could help fix holes in the middle infield

The Red Sox might be adding an outfielder to help fix their middle infield problem this season.

Boston is linked to veteran outfielder Adam Duvall, The Boston Globe’s Julian McWilliams reported. Duvall obviously wouldn’t play second base or shortstop if he was signed by the Red Sox, but the possible addition of the versatile outfielder would allow Kiké Hernández to move from center to second base or shortstop.

Hernández mostly played second base in his final two seasons with the Dodgers in 2019 and 2020. However, he has a fair amount of experience playing shortstop, too.
