Red Sox did not re-sign Rob Refsnyder after weak 2026 start
Summary

The Boston Red Sox have reportedly made the right choice by not re-signing Rob Refsnyder, who has struggled significantly since joining the Seattle Mariners for $6.25 million this season. Refsnyder, who recorded an.838 OPS last year, currently has a.443 OPS and is 9-for-66 with 23 strikeouts against left-handed pitchers. His performance has led to speculation that he could be designated for assignment by the Mariners. The Red Sox have seen improved play from their outfield this season, with notable contributions from Ceddane Rafaela, Wilyer Abreu, and Jarren Duran amidst their challenging 2026 campaign.
