Connor Wong will get another chance to become the starting catcher in Boston. The Sox officially signed him to a one-year contract.

Duran is an All-Star-level player under team control who can do a bit of everything offensively. Who wouldn't want a player like that? Duran is an extra-base machine. In 2025, 70 of Duran's 159 total base hits were extra-base hits. He had 16 homers, 41 doubles, and 13 triples. He's a threat on the base paths and is a great player overall.

A former GM believes this combination of Boston players would get a deal for the back-to-back Cy Young Award winner done for the Red Sox.
