OTM Open Thread 12/19: Does Kristian Campbell have a position now?
"Kristian Campbell is starting to look a little bit better at the plate down in Puerto Rico. He's also reportedly going to be playing exclusively left field down there. Interestingly, Campbell did not start any of the final 10 games of the 2025 season in left. (Moreover, the last thing the Red Sox need roster wise is yet another corner outfielder.) Regardless, his development could end up being an unexpectedly important part of the story of the 2026 Red Sox."

Kristian Campbell is showing measurable improvement at the plate while playing in Puerto Rico. He is reportedly slated to play exclusively in left field during that stint. Campbell did not start any of the final ten games of the 2025 season in left field. The Red Sox currently have multiple corner outfielders, so adding another corner outfielder is not an obvious roster need. Despite that redundancy, Campbell's continued development could become a significant and unexpected factor for the Red Sox during the 2026 season. Monitoring his progress and position change remains relevant.
