They also had two in 1978 and '79, when Dwight Evans and Fred Lynn were patrolling right field and center field, respectively. Before that, it was Reggie Smith and Carl Yastrzemski in 1968.
How about three outfielders winning Gold Gloves? No team has done that since the recognition started in 1957.
The 2025 Red Sox have a legitimate chance. With Jarren Duran in left field, Ceddanne Rafaela in center, and Wilyer Abreu in right, the Sox have three premium defenders.
Abreu was the Gold Glove winner last season and Duran was a finalist in center field. Rafaela had 12 defensive runs saved in center despite playing more innings at shortstop in place of the injured Trevor Story.
With Story healthy and Tyler O'Neill having signed with the Orioles, the Sox could line up with Duran, Rafael, and Abreu from left to right.
Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said the hope was to use Rafaela in center field as often as possible to take the most advantage of his defensive skills, which are myriad.
Rafaela showed a Bradley-like ability to track down balls hit to the deepest parts of the park. His infield skills made him effective at snagging line drives that looked sure to find the grass. He also had a strong arm that led to five outfield assists.
His issue was at the plate. Rafaela, who was signed to an eight-year, $50 million extension in April, hit .246 with a paltry .664 OPS over 152 games. He managed 43 extra-base hits, but struck out a whopping 151 times.
Duran was an All-Star and finished eighth in the MVP voting. His 83 extra-base hits fueled an .834 OPS. He led the majors in doubles (48) and was tied for the lead in triples (14). Duran also stole 34 bases. He was the most valuable player on the team by a wide margin.
His defense was even more of a revelation. Duran had 23 defensive runs saved, a remarkable turnaround after being minus-18 from 2021-23.
Duran, who played second base at Long Beach State, moved to the outfield after being drafted in 2018. It didn't go well his first three seasons as he routinely misplayed fly balls and often threw to the wrong base.
That all changed last season as outfield coach Kyle Hudson worked hard with Duran from the first day of spring training on improving his defense. Duran was a willing student and the lessons took.
Abreu was in the middle of the group offensively, hitting .253 with a .781 OPS. He needs to improve against lefties. Defensively, he handled Fenway Park's expansive right field with aplomb.
Abreu learned to play balls down the line and was able to hold runners at first thanks to a strong arm. The best Sox teams have traditionally had good right fielders and Abreu could be part of that legacy.
Veteran Rob Refsnyder, a righthanded hitter who pounded lefties last season, is the primary outfield backup. Utilityman Romy Gonzalez has 26 games of experience in the outfield.
Masataka Yoshida would like to be in the outfield but played only one inning on defense last season, the Sox having judged him a poor defender. He hopes to shed that label and use his glove this season.
The big question is how prized prospect Roman Anthony fits into the lineup once he is ready.
The 20-year-old reached Triple A Worcester last season and hit .384 with a .983 OPS over 35 games. If the former second-round pick starts the season back in the minors, it may not be for long.
Anthony has primarily been a center fielder but can play the corners. Once he's deemed ready for the majors, the Sox will have to adjust. But there's no such thing as too many good players.
Another notable prospect, Kristian Campbell, has started 31 games in the outfield during his minor league career against 86 starts on the infield. Where he ultimately fits best long term is uncertain, but it's certainly possible that he could play some outfield for the Sox next season.
Along with Anthony and Campbell, the Sox believe Miguel Bleis and Jhostynxon Garcia have bright futures. Bleis turns 21 in March and Garcia is 22.
Garcia reached Double A Portland last season for 30 games. He had an .892 OPS for the season.
Primary 2024 outfielders: Wilyer Abreu, Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela, Rob Refsnyder.
