With the first trimester of the season in the books, it’s time to take a look at who has been performing the best for the Boston Red Sox.

With a record of 32-25, the Sox currently sit two games behind the Yankees for the top spot in the American League East. It’s clear that Boston will be playing meaningful baseball late in the season as they look to make a deep run into the postseason.

With the loss of David Ortiz, the bats were the biggest question mark heading into this season. Who would fill the cleanup spot? Who will have the home run power that Big Papi provided for so many years?

One huge offseason addition for the Sox came when Chris Sale came over from the White Sox. Is he one of the Red Sox’s top performers so far? Let’s take a look at who has been hot for the Red Sox in the first third of the season.
