Who is he and where did he come from?
Andruw Monasterio, a 28-year-old infielder from Venezuela, was acquired by the Red Sox from the Brewers as part of a trade involving David Hamilton and others. Since his MLB debut in 2023, he has been a versatile player, primarily at second and third base, and offers decent defensive stability with just one error last season. While his offensive stats are modest, including a .270 average and 4 home runs in 68 games in 2025, he shows potential for improvement. Monasterio is expected to start the 2026 season in the minors, providing depth as the Red Sox address their infield needs.
