Here is a list of my favorite short-tenured Red Sox players. Some known, others less known, and some you may completely forget were on the team.

While there is not much going on during the coronavirus quarantine, I have been watching Boston Red Sox re-runs on NESN because I miss baseball, and because there are literally no other sports to watch. This has been quite fun, despite knowing the outcomes of the games, as I fondly remember all the Red Sox teams I have witnessed growing up, iconic moments in franchise history, and most rewarding of all, the Championship runs and parades.

Watching these games, I’ve been reminded of Red Sox players I totally forgot were on the team as well as some all-time favorites. So, I was inspired to come up with a team compiled of all of my favorite short-tenured Red Sox players.

This list doesn’t really have any criteria; it’s mostly players I liked for some odd reason and were on the team for one or two years. Some of the players are ones that I totally forgot were on the Red Sox. I’ll explain my choosing for each one. All of these players will be post-2004 era because I don’t remember any Red Sox teams before that, being born in 2000. So here we go.
