Braiden Ward opened up about trying to get playing time in the Red Sox crowded outfield and how he doesn't feel it could be possible.
"It is absolutely stacked... I don't know how I am going to get out there. I am just going to keep doing what I am doing."
Red Sox outfielder Braiden Ward on today’s podcast!
I think he’s going to be a fan favorite this year…

It can not be said enough how important this WBC experience is for Roman Anthony in his career.
Getting to be play with the best players in the world AND is raking alongside them.
Red Sox moves today:
Intrigued to see where Jake Bennett starts the year between Portland or Worcester.
Would also like to see a healthy year from Jeremy Wu-Yelland.
Worth mentioning the start that Red Sox pitching prospect Jack Anderson had yesterday for Great Britain against Mexico.
Led both teams in whiffs with 8 over 3 IP with 3 K’s and 1 ER. Only 2 hits allowed against a good Mexico lineup.
Justin Gonzales getting the start today in LF. Everybody remain calm.
Mikey Romero also returns after missing time with a back injury.
Red Sox pitching prospect Isaac Stebens had Tommy John surgery last week and will miss the 2026 season.
Stebens was one of the Red Sox AFL representatives after a great 2025 season with High-A Greenville.
Had a very intriguing arm from the 2025 Red Sox draft class on the latest podcast.
Barrett Morgan spent the offseason throwing at PitchingWRX with Payton Tolle, David Sandlin, Jake Bennett and Isaac Stebens.
Signed an overslot deal to come to Boston.

My conversation with Henry Godbout is here.
Interesting nuggets he gave about how the Red Sox bat speed program will bring a new side to his offensive game.
Worth a listen.

Appreciate that Travis!
Spoke with a Rays player about facing Justin Gonzales today:
“Big kid with a good swing. Reminded me of young Aaron Judge”
"I am going to have a chip on my shoulder like I have something to prove, and I think people will notice that."
Marcus Phillips talks to SoxProspects.com feature writer @byAndrewParker to detail the expectations he has set for himself in his first Spring Training with the Red Sox.
