Red Sox To Keep Ceddanne Rafaela In Center Field "As Much As Possible"
Briefly

The Red Sox made a significant investment in Ceddanne Rafaela, extending him on an eight-year, $50MM deal, despite his struggles in the early MLB games.
Rafaela's defensive metrics are impressive, logging 12 Defensive Runs Saved in just 748.0 career innings, hinting at his potential to become one of the best fielders.
Versatile in the infield, Rafaela transitioned naturally to center field but also adapted to become the primary shortstop during Trevor Story's absence due to injuries.
Despite initial offensive struggles, Rafaela's elite defensive capabilities led the Red Sox to overlook his batting performance, showcasing the importance of a well-rounded skill set.
