MLB 2026: Surprising Division Winners and Shocking Upsets You Won’t See Coming
In lieu of adding offensive firepower, the Red Sox invested in a barrage of backup for ace Garrett Crochet. Ranger Suarez, Sonny Gray and under-the-radar stuff monster Johan Oviedo join the party alongside several pitching prospects of note.
The lineup is both crowded and a little flat. It looks strange that they can’t play Jarren Duran, Wilyer Abreu, Ceddanne Rafaela and Masataka Yoshida every day, but they’ll figure it out through performance or attrition. Second-year star Roman Anthony, who will start every day in front of the Green Monster, figures to be Boston’s best hitter. The exact angle of his ascent from top prospect to potential MVP candidate might determine whether the championship potential matches the threats posed by Aaron Judge and Vlad Jr. elsewhere in this beast of a division.
