The Red Sox made their opinion of Jarren Duran abundantly clear Monday.Prior to the series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park, Boston needed to free up a roster spot for utility infielder Christian Arroyo, who was set to return from the injured list.Boston elected to designate Raimel Tapia for assignment even though the veteran outfielder had done a solid job in his role for two months and provided the club with a fairly versatile skillset.

It can easily be argued the Red Sox's biggest detriment in 2022 was their reliance on young, unproven pitchers.Now, it wasn't exactly Boston's idea to throw a bunch of Triple-A pitchers into a Major League Baseball setting.Injuries to Chris Sale, James Paxton, Garrett Whitlock and Nathan Eovaldi essentially forced the Red Sox into calling up the likes of Kutter Crawford, Josh Winckowski, Connor Seabold and Brayan Bello before they were fully ready to contribute.

The Red Sox's roster is starting to take shape as they close in on an Opening Day matchup against the Baltimore Orioles on March 30.Boston manager Alex Cora and chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom still have some decisions to make, however.The Red Sox still need a fifth starter as they wait for Brayan Bello and Garrett Whitlock to get back up to speed.
