Presser: Craig Breslow Explains The Red Sox Strategy

potential you know and then Sonny's secondary to rely on spin whereas you know Ranger changeup is has been a really good pitch for him so you know I think kind of raw raw spin total spin edge goes to Sonny but ability to execute you know both guys have been really successful maybe small edge to Ranger there.

And Ref played a really prominent role both on the field in terms of his production against left-handed pitching and then also as a leader in the clubhouse.

Like, I don't want to sit here and say, hey, we'll replace Ref with this player.

But, you know, I think Christian is a guy that we're going to give a look to in the outfield.
