27-Year-Old ShortstopSS
Boston Red Sox AAA
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sogard had his contract selected in the second half of 2024 and made his MLB debut. The 27-year-old appeared at every infield position while Boston dealt with injuries. He served mostly at second base, which remains a position of uncertainty leading up to the regular season. There are several candidates in camp, including hot prospect Kristian Campbell, a healthy Vaughn Grissom and David Hamilton, who started the most games at second base in 2024. Boston is also in on Alex Bregman, who almost certainly would start at the second. Sogard is unlikely to start the season as a starter and would have to make the club as a utility infielder.

$Signed a one-year contract with the Red Sox in March of 2025.
Demoted to Triple-A
SSBoston Red Sox  AAA
June 1, 2025
The Red Sox optioned Sogard to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Sogard's demotion comes after Abraham Toro supplanted him as the Red Sox's preferred option at first base. Though he had an opportunity to claim an everyday role after Triston Casas (knee) suffered a season-ending injury and Romy Gonzalez (quadriceps) went on the injured list as well, Sogard slashed just .245/.302/.306 over 53 plate appearances with the big club. Boston called up utility player Nate Eaton from Worcester to replace Sogard on the 26-man roster.

ANALYSIS
Sogard received three straight starts at first base from May 19-21, but Abraham Toro has dominated playing time at the position over the past week, and Boston will need a roster spot for Nate Eaton, who is expected to get a promotion from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday. Sogard hasn't made a huge impression in his 53 plate appearances this year with a .608 OPS.
