The Boston Red Sox front office appears to be fragmented over roster decisions, particularly concerning infielder Alex Bregman. While leadership like Alex Cora and Sam Kennedy advocate for adding a right-handed bat to improve the lineup, Craig Breslow favors relying on the potential of upcoming rookies. With the loss of Tyler O'Neil, the team's offensive edge seems diminished, unless existing players regain health and performance. Currently, potential candidates like Justin Turner and JD Martinez remain available, raising questions about the team's strategy for the upcoming season.
If reports were to be believed, Alex Cora and Sam Kennedy were pushing hard to add the Astros infielder, while Craig Breslow was against the move.
Kennedy repeated that adding a right-handed bat is 'still a goal' of the Red Sox offseason.
The fact of the matter is that, in light of the departure of Tyler O'Neil and his 31 homers from the right side, the Red Sox lineup is worse on paper right now than it was in 2024.
Justin Turner is still out there. Could he be the righty bat the Sox are looking for, or will the improvement come from elsewhere on the roster?
