The Red Sox’s defense has been a weakness for this team over the last few seasons, with Boston ranking 29th in the league last year in both errors (115) and fielding percentage (.981).
But ESPN is expecting big things from Boston’s defense in 2025, especially when it comes to the team’s projected outfield trio of Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu.
As part of a “bold predictions” feature ahead of the start of the 2025 MLB season, ESPN offered up a hot take for all 30 big-league clubs — with ESPN’s David Schoenfield calling his shot that Duran, Rafaela, and Abreu will all win Gold Glove Awards this year.
