If they don't start dealing some prospects, the FO will just lose more and more of them to the Rule 5 draft. At some point, it does become a bit of a numbers game and you just can't keep all of them.

The Red Sox announce they’ve claimed RHP Zack Weiss off waivers from the Los Angeles Angels and optioned him to Triple-A Worcester.
To make room on the 40-man roster, they transferred RHP Corey Kluber to the 60-Day Injured List.
Looks like that puts a fork in the tenure of Corey Kluber. Retirement?

Betts reiterated several times that he wanted to stay in Boston. Nothing but good things to say about the Sox. Said he would recommend to any player to come here.
Once he's in MLB, the pitchers will just not throw him a strike. He'll still make contact, but the contact will be weaker than what we've seen in MiLB. I don't believe he'll ever improve with his pitch recognition.
I think it depends on how soon they think Roman Anthony could be ready. If they think Anthony could contribute in 2025, you can roll out Verdugo in 2024 knowing that you have a replacement the following year.
LF Abreu
CF Rafaela
RF Verdugo
I guess it would depend on what they see Duran's ceiling on and what the trade return is.
