MLB notes: How much power potential do Red Sox realistically have for 2026 season? The Red Sox failed in their pursuit of a proven power bat, but the club believes power could still come from within. How much power potential does this group realistically have?

On paper the Red Sox lineup is one of the most power deficient in baseball, but club leaders are optimistic that power will ultimately emerge.

Is that realistic? A deep dive into the Red Sox power potential.

Alex Cora announces Red Sox ace will be Opening Day starter Not that it was much of a mystery, but Alex Cora made it official on Tuesday by announcing the club’s Opening Day starter.

"Let's get that shit over with."

Alex Cora made one of the least surprising announcements of the spring on Tuesday.

The Red Sox have officially announced the Isiah Kiner-Falefa signing. He will wear number 2.

To make room on the 40-man roster, the club is placing RHP Tanner Houck on the 60-Day Injured List.

Craig Breslow on Marcelo Mayer: “He needs to come into camp and compete and show us what he’s capable of, but he’s got a ton of potential, absolutely, to be an everyday player."

"He’ll have an opportunity in front of him to come in and compete for a spot."

The Red Sox announce they've added four non-roster invitees to the spring roster: INF Brendan Rodgers, C Matt Thaiss, and RHPs Kyle Keller and Vinny Nittoli.

Red Sox boss identifies candidates to fill Rob Refsnyder’s old spot Who will fill Rob Refsnyder’s old role as a lefty-killer off the Red Sox bench? Craig Breslow identified some possibilities on Monday.

Red Sox manager announces infielder dealing with nagging shoulder injury Alex Cora announced that a key returning Red Sox player has been dealing with a nagging shoulder injury since the fall.

The Red Sox haven't gotten any surprises as players report to camp, but one veteran is behind in his progression due to a nagging shoulder injury suffered late last season.

Red Sox haven’t decided where new ‘everyday’ infielder will play The Red Sox view their new infield acquisition as an everyday player, but the club is otherwise content to let camp play out before deciding who will start where.

The Red Sox completely reshaped their infield picture on Monday, but while the club views Caleb Durbin as an everyday player, they're otherwise content to let camp play out before deciding who will start where.

www.bostonherald.com/2026/02/09/r...

Craig Breslow says they haven't committed to any specific position for Caleb Durbin and they'll figure that out as camp gets underway.

Adds they view him as an everyday player.

The Red Sox officially announce the Caleb Durbin trade.

I think it's a lock the Red Sox add some relievers soon.

With this trade the club now has 19 pitchers on its 40-man roster (not including Tanner Houck). 11 of those are starters and 8 are relievers.

A typical bullpen has 8 arms, so that split isn't sustainable.

The Durbin trade provides roster clarity but there are still questions that may have to be addressed.

Will the Red Sox keep all of their outfielders or try to clear the logjam?

How will they handle the veteran starters who don't make the rotation?

Bullpen additions?

Who will win the No. 5 rotation spot? And will the Red Sox have to trade another starter for the roster to work? Here’s our first crack at projecting the Opening Day roster.

Analysis: New signing won’t solve disjointed Red Sox position player group The Red Sox brought in more infield help on Wednesday, but the veteran utility man won’t change the equation for a disjointed Red Sox position player group.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa could prove a useful piece, but the veteran infielder won't meaningfully change the equation for a disjointed Red Sox position player group that badly needs a shakeup.
