Veteran outfielder Adam Duvall has garnered interest from several teams, with the Angels and Red Sox being among the contenders for the 35-year-old, as reported by Jon Heyman of The New York Post.
Heyman suggests that unless there is additional interest from other teams, it seems likely that Adam Duvall will end up signing with either the Angels or the Red Sox.
If Adam Duvall opts for the Red Sox, it would mark a return to Boston for the veteran outfielder. In the 2023 season, he concluded his campaign with a slash line of .247/.303/.531, contributing 21 home runs and 58 RBI.
The Red Sox are reportedly in contact with Justin Turner’s representation, raising questions about their plans for the designated hitter position in 2024. According to Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe, the team does not plan to use the designated hitter consistently and instead intends to distribute at-bats across their lineup.
In light of this approach, any player they bring in is likely to have defensive capabilities, although the Red Sox will still prioritize a strong bat. Adam Duvall, being able to play in each outfield spot as well as first base, fits this profile.
Heading into his 11th season, Duvall brings a veteran presence that could benefit many teams. His consistent performance, highlighted by three All-Star selections and a Gold Glove Award, makes him an attractive option for teams seeking a reliable contributor.
