It appears that on the final day of spring training, the Red Sox decided to go with Raimel Tapia as their fifth outfielder rather than Jarren Duran.
According to the Boston Globe’s Julian McWilliams, Adalberto Mondesi will be shifted to the 60 day injured list to make room for Tapia on the team’s 40-man roster.
Both Tapia and Duran mashed the ball for the Red Sox in spring training, each hitting over .325. Tapia, however, was on a minor league contract and was reaching out to other teams in the event that he wasn’t selected to the major league roster.
