With spring training just around the corner, we’re beginning a position-by-position look at the Red Sox roster. Who’s in place, what does the depth chart look like, and which strengths and weaknesses might come into play this season? We’ll start at first base, where the Red Sox only significant offseason signing has been to bring back one of their own.
Starter
Mitch Moreland
- At this time last year, Moreland looked more like a stopgap than a solution. He’d been a fine defender and occasional source of power in Texas, and the Red Sox scooped him up on a one-year deal to platoon at first base.
