22-Year-Old Second Baseman2B
Boston Red Sox AAA
2025 Fantasy Outlook
The top pop-up prospect of 2024, Campbell slashed .329/.437/.551 with 20 home runs, 24 steals and a 20 percent strikeout rate in 115 games across the top three levels of the minor leagues. Selected with the No. 132 overall pick in 2023, Campbell signed for just under $500K and now he has a chance of winning a spot on the Opening Day roster in 2025. While Campbell received 25-plus starts at shortstop, center field and second base last year, it's pretty clear that second base is where he fits on this roster, where David Hamilton is the top incumbent and Vaughn Grissom also hopes to figure into things. Campbell has a much higher ceiling than Hamilton or Grissom and may not be a short-term downgrade, so it would make sense for the Red Sox to break camp with Campbell if they think he's ready, as he could net them a Prospect Promotion Incentive Pick. There aren't any obvious flaws with Campbell, although 2024 was his first year hitting for notable power -- he had a higher slugging percentage last year than he did at any stop as an amateur. If he looks like the same player in spring training, momentum will build in the redraft market, and he's already a locked in top-10 dynasty prospect. Read Past Outlooks

Starts at second Friday
2BBoston Red Sox  AAA
February 22, 2025
Campbell started at second base and went 0-for-3 in Friday's spring game against Northeastern University.
ANALYSIS
Campbell was one of several prospects and minors leaguers dotting Boston's lineup in the team's traditional spring kickoff against the Huskies. He's competing for a starting job at second base, but the Alex Bregman acquisition could influence the decision regarding the starter at the keystone. If Bregman plays third base, then Campbell has a real shot; if Rafael Devers stays at third base, then Bregman is expected to start at second base. That latter scenario means Campbell would likely open the season at Triple-A Worcester.

Unlikely to be dealt

November 17, 2024
According to Christopher Smith of MassLive.com, "it's difficult to imagine" Campbell being traded by the Red Sox during the offseason.
ANALYSIS
Boston is looking to upgrade its rotation through the trade market, but Campbell is believed to be nearly untouchable as one of the organization's top prospects. He missed the end of the Triple-A season due to a lat strain but had a .997 OPS in 115 games between Worchester, Double-A Portland and High-A Greenville in 2024.
