After weeks of rumored links to seemingly every top-tier infielder available on the free agent and trade markets, the Boston Red Sox settled on Willson Contreras as their first offensive upgrade.
Contreras is a good fit with Boston, especially after the St. Louis Cardinals moved him to first base full-time last year. He'll bring a consistent bat with a much-needed dose of power and solid defense to the corner, where the Red Sox have been unstable since 2023 due to long-term injuries to Triston Casas.
Most reporters and insiders expect the Sox to add another bat before Opening Day.
