Most people in the Red Sox organization were no doubt thrilled with the signing of J.D. Martinez, even Hanley Ramirez, who knows that this is about winning and not one player (see link below). However, Bryce Brentz didn’t exactly get helped out by the move, at least in terms of him becoming a regular for Boston.
Obviously, with Jackie Bradley Jr., Andrew Benintendi and Mookie Betts manning the outfield, the Sox weren’t exactly hurting for a starter in the outfield, and Brock Holt at least resembles a fourth outfielder.
