Who is going to be the man in right next year for the Red Sox?
The Red Sox currently have Alex Verdugo in right field, but they could have the option to upgrade at the position and either move Verdugo back to left field or trade him to help strengthen other weaknesses.
There are a few options this offseason for the Red Sox to take a look at. This offseason Joey Gallo, Andrew Benintendi, Joc Pederson, Jorge Soler (if he opts out), Tyler Naquin, and probably the most prized possession in the MLB free agency of the outfielders Aaron Judge.
If the Red Sox were to go after Gallo, Benintendi, Pederson, Soler, or Naquin were to be signed by the Red Sox, I doubt Verdugo would be moved to left. The only way I see Verdugo being sent back to left field for the Red Sox is if they were to pull off one of the biggest moves in the history of the Red Sox and Yankees rivalry and sign Aaron Judge.
After turning down a sizable extension from the Yankees, Judge bet on himself and went on a tear in 2022, breaking the American League single-season home run record. Signing Judge would obviously improve their offense and help the Sox get back into title contention. Having a lineup with Devers, Trevor Story, Kiké Hernández, Judge, Verdugo, Hosmer/Casas, and hopefully, Bogaerts, would be very scary for other teams.
However, the Red Sox already need to lock down Devers and Bogaerts, and I would not sacrifice either of them to bring Judge to the Red Sox. I highly doubt the Red Sox would make this big splash, but if it were to happen, it would be fantastic and would make the baseball world lose its mind.
