Exciting Breakthrough Revealed
The Boston Red Sox appear to be active in the player market as spring training approaches, with rumors suggesting their interest in veteran outfielder Adam Duvall. According to Jon Heyman of The New York Post, the Red Sox are competing with the Los Angeles Angels for Duvall’s services. However, the Angels recently signed Aaron Hicks, a former New York Yankees outfielder, which potentially clears the path for the Red Sox to re-sign Duvall.
Aaron Hicks, 34, spent over seven seasons with the Yankees before being released in May of the previous season due to a challenging start. Subsequently, he joined the Baltimore Orioles, concluding the 2023 season with a .253 batting average, eight home runs, 36 RBIs, and six stolen bases.
Duvall, who played his first season with the Red Sox last year, demonstrated his ability to contribute power to the lineup, finishing the season with a .247 batting average, 21 home runs, and 58 RBIs. However, his health remains a concern, as he faced a wrist injury that sidelined him for two months, impacting his overall performance.
Despite his productive stretches, Duvall, at 35 years old, faces questions about his durability, having played in less than 100 games in four of the last five seasons. The Red Sox, with a crowded outfield, might consider a platoon role for Duvall, especially considering the return of Jarren Duran and the acquisition of two-time Gold Glove winner Tyler O’Neill. Youngsters Ceddanne Rafaela and Wiley Abreu could also be considered for more significant roles.
While Duvall’s veteran presence could add depth to the Red Sox, they may opt for younger talents like Rafaela or Abreu to contribute, especially if Duvall’s health and age raise durability concerns. With the Angels stepping back from the competition, the Red Sox have a clearer path to secure Duvall’s services if they decide to pursue this option.
