Breaking: Red Sox Rookie’s Defensive Mastery Earns…
Congratulations are in order for Boston Red Sox outfielder WIlyer Abreu, who captured the American League Gold Glove Award in right field on Sunday night.
The 25-year-old out of Venezuela won the award in his first full season in the big leagues. He was acquired by the Red Sox in a trade with the Houston Astros in 2022 and made a brief cameo in 2023, but he really asserted himself this year. He played 132 games for manager Alex Cora, posting a 3.5 WAR thanks to his combination of strong defense and power at the plate.
With the Gold Glove win, he also joined some rare baseball history.
