5 possible landing spots for free agent OF Lourdes Gurriel Jr.

5. Boston Red Sox

Although a great season wasn’t necessarily expected going into 2023, the Red Sox still struggled overall, particularly down the season’s home stretch to finish just 78-84 last year. The organization will be looking to get back to its winning ways with a big offseason, and Gurriel Jr. could be a guy to help them do that. The Red Sox were not a bad offensive team by any means last season, ranking in the top 10 in the majors in several hitting metrics. Boston’s outfield also contains several solid players including Jarren Duran, Masataka Yoshida and Alex Verdugo. However, with Duran coming off injury, and recent trade rumors surrounding Verdugo, it’s quite possible the Red Sox are looking to fill a hole in the outfield or at the DH position sooner than later with a guy like Gurriel Jr.
