The Boston Red Sox's 2025-26 offseason began with roster bloat and uncertainties all around. Some of their excess starting pitching has been moved in trades, but the outfield logjam and infield positioning questions remain.
Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow earlier this winter made sure to note that almost any trades could be on the table to improve the team, but he's also left room for the team to keep all its outfielders into the start of the 2026 season. Some fans have floated a permanent position change to second base for Ceddanne Rafaela in the event that the Sox don't trade an outfielder.
