Red Sox: Making a case for adding Rusney Castillo to 2018 roster

If the Boston Red Sox plan on adding outfield depth this offseason they need only look 50 miles south to Pawtucket where they’ll find Rusney Castillo ready and waiting.

Castillo has yet to capitalize on the potential that convinced the previous front office regime to ink him to a 7-year, $72.5 million deal in 2014. He spent the entire 2017 season at the Triple-A level where he hit .314 with a .857 OPS in 87 games with Pawtucket. This was by far the best production we’ve seen from Castillo since his brief 10 game stint in Boston following his 2014 debut with the organization.
