Top Red Sox players to watch
Offensively, Boston’s success is currently riding on a dynamic young core. Top prospect Roman Anthony is viewed as the anchor of the lineup, possessing the raw talent to be the team’s best overall hitter as he settles into the big leagues. Surrounding him, blazing-fast sparkplug Jarren Duran continues to be a game-changing leadoff threat, while Wilyer Abreu has been one of the team’s hottest bats, consistently flashing serious power.
The front office spent the winter overhauling the starting rotation. Blockbuster free-agent signing Ranger Suárez and veteran trade acquisition Sonny Gray now headline the pitching staff. When it’s time to slam the door in the ninth inning, the team hands the ball to veteran flamethrower Aroldis Chapman.
