Red Sox Manager Excited for Willson Contreras

Red Sox manager Alex Cora is thrilled to add Willson Contreras to the roster, praising his offensive and defensive skills. Contreras, a 33-year-old infielder, impressed Cora with his hard-hitting and quality at-bats, making him a key piece for Bostons competitiveness in 2026. Last season, Contreras thrived at first base with the Cardinals, batting .257 and .344 OBP, setting career highs in hits, home runs, and RBIs. The move could solidify the lineup, with Triston Casas potentially shifting to a backup or designated hitter role. Spring training begins late February, offering a clearer picture of the 2026 lineup.
