The 2026 Boston Red Sox have an abundance of two things: starting pitchers and outfielders.
Pitching depth is important and should come in handy over the course of a long season, as pitchers tend to get hurt eventually. However, the outfield logjam is causing a real roster crunch for the Red Sox.
That's because Boston has five outfielders for three outfield spots and the DH: Jarren Duran, Roman Anthony, Ceddanne Rafaela, Wilyer Abreu and Masataka Yoshida.
