The Future is bright for the Red Sox
Despite the failure to make the playoffs, the Future is bright for the Red Sox, with the following names getting recognition. It does not include SS Marcelo Mayer, OF, Ceddanne Rafaela, and even Catcher Kyle Teel; that shows you the depth the Red Sox has in their system. They could use some of those pieces for trades in the offseason to make themselves better and still have some solid in the system entering the 2024 season.
