Although the 2024 season almost certainly didn’t go quite as well as you might have hoped, the team is bursting with prospects, young big-league talent, and potential. It’s a time for dreaming big, and those dreams should include offseason spending. The Red S...2094Wed, 16 Oct 2024 10:51:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/end-of-season-red-sox-grades-outfield-r2092/According to FanGraphs, the Red Sox outfield put up 13.1 WAR in 2024, making it the second-best outfield in baseball, behind only the Yankees.
