Breaking: Red Sox Prospect’s Future in Doubt: Insider Names Trade…
The Boston Red Sox are in the planning stage of their offseason, as they’ll soon begin signing, re-signing and trading for different players across the league to help them win in the near future.
If Boston does decide to trade for an experienced veteran, they’d likely be targeting a top-end starting pitcher who’d slide in as the team’s ace in 2025 in front of Lucas Giolito and Tanner Houck or another power-hitting right-handed bat.
While doing a Reddit AMA on Wednesday, the Boston Globe’s Alex Speier said that he believes Teel would be the most likely of the group to go.
Speier went on to say that he’s unsure if Boston will actually move Teel considering he has the clearest path to playing time.
Connor Wong is set to be the team’s starting catcher in 2025, but the backup job is completely open with Danny Jansen and Reese McGuire hitting the market.
At the same time, there are plenty of options in free agency, including those two, that the Red Sox could sign to split time behind the plate with Wong.
In 112 games between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester this past year, Teel hit .288 with an .819 OPS, 13 home runs, 78 RBIs and 12 stolen bases.
