Boston Red Sox outfield could sweep Gold Glove Awards

The Boston Red Sox are entering the 2025 MLB season with a very strong outfield. ESPN has made a bold prediction that could lead to the team winning several offseason awards. ESPN predicts that the Red Sox outfield will sweep the American League Gold Glove Awards. This would be a unique achievement in baseball history. The players involved are Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela, and Wilyer Abreu. Abreu won the Gold Glove in right field last season as a rookie. Duran ranked second among all outfielders in defensive runs saved in 2024. He now faces competition from three-time winner Steven Kwan to win in left field. Rafaela has shown exceptional range in center field but needs to improve his hitting to secure a spot. Last season, despite the team finishing at .500 and missing the playoffs, these three players were key defensive performers. They are expected to continue their impressive play in 2025. However, Rafaela's offensive struggles could open the door for Roman Anthony, baseball's top prospect, who has been performing well in spring training. If Rafaela doesn't improve, Anthony may take his place, especially if Rafaela needs to switch to shortstop. The Red Sox are looking for a better season ahead.
