Need is a strong word. I think they can get by with what they have, but the team would be much stronger with, say, JBJ in CF, Verdugo in RF, and Renfroe as the weak side of a platoon in the outfield corners. But with picking up Ottavino today, the team is that much closer to the luxury tax, so JBJ might be off the table.
The great Brandon Phillips who will always live forever in Red Sox Nation hearts by hitting the only 9th inning or later home run in a Sox debut in a wild comeback win against the Braves in 2018. Nice way to wrap up a solid career.
You don't think the Sox need an OF for next year?

You nailed it, Brian! Nice job!
