Summary: As the offseason winds down, the Red Sox continue to add depth to their 2023 roster by signing outfielders Adam Duvall and Raimel Tapia as well as catcher Jorge Alfaro. Duvall's deal is a major league contract while Tapia and Alfaro's are minor league contracts but all these players could make an impact on the major league roster at some point throughout the 2023 season. NESN's Lauren Willand and Jake Ignaszewski begin by breaking down Adam Duvall's deal and looking at what he'll bring to the Red Sox. Jake and Lauren look deep into the statistics on what made him one of the best hitters in the NL and what he was able to do with the Braves during an injury-riddled 2022 season. Then they look at why he could be a good fit in center field due to his past experience and what clubhouse presence he could bring with his experiences playing big moments such as winning a World Series with the Braves in 2021. Jake and Lauren then shift their attention to Raimel Tapia, which some may remember hit the inside-the-park grand slam with the Blue Jays last season due to Jarren Duran's embarrassing error. They look at what depth Tapia will bring to the major league or minor league team and if this signing could potentially create a Tapia vs Duran Spring Training battle for the fourth or fifth spot in the outfield. Lastly, Jake and Lauren discuss the signing of catcher Jorge Alfaro and look at his success in the Dominican Winter League and explain what he could bring to the team.
