The Boston Red Sox outfield seems to be pretty much set for 2016. With Jackie Bradley, Jr., Mookie Betts and Rusney Castillo, this is the one area on the BoSox roster that does not need improvement. They are all young, athletic, and full of potential. And, with utility man Brock Holt also able to help in center and right, it seems as though not much change is needed in order to be ready for next season.
Think again. Last week, during an interview on WEEI’s Hot Stove, Red Sox President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski mentioned that he is looking for a veteran right-handed batter to serve as the backup outfielder next year.
