"We heard rumors about this a few weeks ago but now it's official: the Red Sox will send Kristian Campbell to the Caribbean for a little bit of winter ball this offseason. No word yet on where he'll play, though the safe bet is that he'll be in Puerto Rico with the Caguas Criollos, a team managed by Sox bench coach Ramon Vazquez. The big thing to watch down there won't be how he hits, but what position he plays."
"I suspect that we won't see much of Kristian Campbell in the infield, either this winter or next season. But there is a new infield face we may see. The Sox just signed 29-year-old infielder Vinny Capra to a minor league deal that comes with a spring training invite. Capra has played 67 total games in his career, slashing .133/.181/.188, which is... not good. Don't worry: Vinny Capra was not signed to replace Alex Bregman."
"Don't worry: Vinny Capra was not signed to replace Alex Bregman. But how is the Bregman market shaping up? This MLB insider says the market is really centered around two teams, the Red Sox and Tigers: Of course, Scott Boras is going to try to squeeze out a few extra dollars based on the "Alex Bregman is an extra coach" narrative. And in that regard, this report about him helping Connelly Early with potential pitch tipping will help."
Kristian Campbell will play winter ball in the Caribbean, likely in Puerto Rico with the Caguas Criollos managed by Ramon Vazquez. The primary focus during winter ball will be which defensive position he plays rather than his hitting. The Red Sox signed 29-year-old infielder Vinny Capra to a minor league contract with a spring training invite. Capra has appeared in 67 major league games and has slashed .133/.181/.188. Vinny Capra was not signed to replace Alex Bregman. The Bregman market appears centered on the Red Sox and Tigers. Baseball America ranks Payton Tolle, Franklin Arias, and Connelly Early as top prospects, awarding Tolle best fastball and Early best changeup.
