When Tyler O’Neill went on the IL with a concussion on April 18th (retroactive to April 16th), a collective groan could be heard across New England, from the forests of Maine to the shoreline of Connecticut (if we count any corner of Connecticut a part of the region). The Red Sox were down ANOTHER top producer. At the time, O’Neill not only led the team in homers, but the entire Majors, with seven. Tied with a resurgent Mike Trout. This opened up a giant hole in the outfield, one we knew who it would be filled with (unlike shortstop) but one that based on 2024 season performance wasn’t exactly thrilling.
Welcome, Wilyer!
