Kristian Campbell ?

Currently hot with the WooSox.  Possible short term solution to get another right handed hitter in the lineup? Just sayin.  Maybe we get the real version now?

July with the WooSox, hitting .364, 2 home runs, 9 rbi, and a strike out to walk ratio 12/11 over the course of 15 games.  He will be hard to move for value in a trade based on the stats you provided, and we are on the hook for big $$$.  Thinking could this be his time like so many slow growers that did well across baseball history?  Small call up risk with potential dividends?

And where would you put him?

If he gets called up, it’s likely because someone got hurt…

Right handed DH

I don’t see him being called up even if RAF Man, or Abreu got hurt especially with a playoff berth at stake.

Couldn’t help but notice you didn’t mention Duran…

Duran too.

IDK you have that albatross contract on him either bring him up, or try to trade him right now. If you can’t trade him, bring him up and let him take JD’s AB’s for the next 10 games see what happens? Not a whole lot to lose in terms of production a .491 OPS last 14 days.

I would hold KC until the next ST whenever that comes about.  Bring him to Boston now and if he goes all deer in the headlights then he will be permanently brain fried.

Or he could have a month or so like his April 2025 and later we can trade him in the off season, mostly because there is no position that he excels enough at to warrant a long term decision.

That would be an innovative approach and right now you are correct that it would not take much to outperform Mr. Duran, sadly

The Red Sox are in a playoff hunt now, and to me that’s no time for a tryout. I don’t see Duran losing any AB right now except for JJ against LHP, and certainly not to a KC.

Duran does get an occasional RBI despite his low BA.
