The Boston Red Sox have found themselves an outfield that is arguably the best in the MLB, headlined by Roman Anthony, Wilyer Abreu, Jarren Duran, and Ceddanne Rafaela. They also have some great depth with Nate Eaton, Masataka Yoshida, and Rob Refsnyder.

Due to this depth however, it stunted the promotion of top outfield prospects. Due to that, Fansided’s Eric Cole believes the Sox will put their top outfield prospect, Jhostynxon Garcia, on the trade block this offseason.

“Boston is in a weird spot and is run by a front office that makes weird choices. However, they have a really good chance of making the playoffs this year and with guys like Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer coming back in 2026, we can probably expect the Red Sox to be active this winter. Garcia is an exciting hitting prospect with a fantastic name, but Boston has a surplus of outfield prospects at the moment and Garcia feels like a name that could get thrown in as the centerpiece of a significant trade to address another area of the roster,” Cole wrote.

In the minors this season, Garcia has been a beast. In AA and AAA, he’s slashed .267/.340/.470/.810 with 17 doubles, 21 homers, and 75 RBI in 114 games. While he didn’t have a great time in his short stints in the majors, he’s still got a ton of upside.

While it would hurt to let a talent like him go, the Sox just don’t have the space to keep him. They could also get something they need to get to that top tier level, such as pitching, or a first baseman.

Hopefully the Sox find a trade partner that will take Garcia, and get Boston something great in return as well.
