"This team has a surplus of young, controllable outfielders, with Jarren Duran's name the one that has come up the most in trade rumors. What's more, Triston Casas and Masataka Yoshida have less of a path to playing time now that Contreras is in the fold. Breslow recently told reporters (including Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com) that roster logjams like this "tend to work out," but one such way these things can work themselves out is through a trade or two."
"Free agent contracts to be finalized: Ryan O'Hearn and the Pirates came to terms on the largest free agent contract for a position player in the franchise's history last week: a two-year, $29MM guarantee. However, the team has not formalized the signing, which means O'Hearn isn't technically a Pirate just yet. Now that Christmas has passed, fans can expect an announcement from the Pirates any day, although the club will have to free up a space on its 40-ma"
The Red Sox acquired Willson Contreras in two separate trades and remain the only AL team without a free-agent major league contract. The club is pursuing top infield options including Bo Bichette, Alex Bregman, and trade candidates Ketel Marte, Isaac Paredes, and Brendan Donovan. Boston has also been linked to Eugenio Suárez and relievers such as Seranthony Domínguez and Evan Phillips. The roster contains a surplus of young, controllable outfielders, with Jarren Duran frequently mentioned in trade rumors. Triston Casas and Masataka Yoshida face reduced playing-time paths following Contreras' arrival. Craig Breslow indicated roster logjams often resolve, possibly via trades. The Pirates and Ryan O'Hearn reached terms on a two-year, $29MM guarantee that remains unformalized pending roster moves.
