Red Sox Offense Struggles, Abreu Shines
About this episode
The Boston Red Soxs offense is struggling early in the season, with key players like Caleb Durbin and others posting low OPS marks. However, Wilyer Abreu is excelling, and the teams coaches see him as a potential elite hitter. The Sox passed on big bats in the offseason, and Isaac Parades, who got a hit against them, admitted Fenway Park affects his vision. Durbin is brushing off his rough start, and pitchers Ranger Suarez and Johan Oviedo are staying calm despite early struggles. The teams offseason blueprint leaves little room for prolonged slumps, and if Abreu continues to perform and the lineup finds its rhythm, the Sox could quickly turn their season around.
