The Boston Red Sox are actively seeking to upgrade their catching situation after missing out on J.T. Realmuto and Victor Caratini, with Carlos Narvaez expected to remain the primary catcher despite a second-half slump. Connor Wong, the current backup, struggled offensively last season, prompting the team to explore options in free agency and trades, including Gary Sanchez and Dalton Rushing. However, competition for catching help is strong, and the Red Sox may consider minor league signings if they don’t secure a significant upgrade. The team’s focus remains on balancing Narvaez’s workload to enhance his performance in 2026.
