The Red Sox acquired Willson Contreras, who transitioned to first base last season, signaling his primary role in Boston. Despite limited past experience at first base, Contreras excelled defensively in 2025 and brings a strong bat, having posted a wRC+ of at least 124 over the last four seasons. This move raises questions about Triston Casas’ future with the team, especially as he recovers from injury. Boston also faces a crowded roster, particularly in the outfield and at second base, as they navigate player roles.
