The article explores the hypothetical scenario of adding a past Red Sox player to the struggling 2025 roster to address current weaknesses, particularly in the first-base position. The author proposes Doug Mientkiewicz, a player known for his defensive skills despite lacking impressive offensive stats. This fun exercise highlights the importance of solid defense in a team struggling with fielding mistakes and suggests that even non-superstar, lesser-known players can provide valuable contributions when filling roster gaps.
In the spirit of this hypothetical scenario, I'm opting for Doug Mientkiewicz, a player known for his defensive prowess, to strengthen the team's first base.
The Red Sox have had some defensive struggles over at first base this season, particularly after Triston Casas’ injury, which magnified the team's fielding issues.
