Boston Red Sox breakout outfielders Wilyer Abreu and Jarren Duran have been amazing for the Sox this season, being a core part of the offense.

9/28/24 | Will Red Sox rookie win Gold Glove? 'If it happens, it's a huge honor'. BOSTON — Red Sox rookie Wilyer Abreu has struggled offensively here late in the season, going 11-for-62 (.177 batting average) in September. But his defense hasn't slumped at any point this season. “Obviously my defense for me has been the big thing. It's been the thing that's always been a constant,” Abreu said through translator Carlos Villoria Benítez on Friday. “On the offensive side, obviously I had some success but I also had some ups and downs. And I struggled a little bit. But that's something that happens. So for me to be able to contribute in all other aspects of the game was huge.” Abreu is a strong candidate to win a Gold Glove award. He has 16 defensive runs saved in 903 ? innings Source: https://www.masslive.com/redsox/2024/09/will-red-s... |

9/17/24 | Red Sox Rookie Of The Year Candidate Earns Surprising Performance Grade. During a topsy-turvy 2024 campaign, one of the best things that has happened to the Boston Red Sox has been the youth movement. The Red Sox have had numerous young players perform above expectations this season on both sides of the ball. One of the best surprises for the Red Sox has been rookie right fielder Wilyer Abreu, who came over in the Christian Vázquez trade with the Houston Astros in 2022. In fact, Abreu was the less-heralded of the two prospects Boston received, behind second baseman Enmnauel Valdez. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/red-sox/boston-red-sox-news... |
9/10/24 | Wilyer Abreu grades himself harshly, but Red Sox rookie has planted himself firmly in award consideration. Not when manager Alex Cora, on several occasions, noted Abreu's learning curve wasn't as pronounced as Jarren Duran's or Triston Casas's when they first faced the challenges of the majors.

Duran had a tough few years before breaking out in 2023. Source: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/09/10/sports/red-... |
8/27/24 | Red Sox Rising Star Ranked No. 5 Rookie Of The Year Candidate By Insider. The Boston Red Sox are likely going to fall short of a playoff berth, but 2024 has been far from a complete failure. One of the most surprising successes of Boston's season has been the stellar play of two of its rookies, Wilyer Abreu and Ceddanne Rafaela. Abreu was the less-touted of the two players heading into the season, which makes it all the more rewarding that he was named a top-five candidate for American League Rookie of the Year on Tuesday by The Athletic's Jim Bowden. Bowden ranked Abreu at No. 5 on his list of the ten candidates for the award (with Rafaela falling close behind at No. 6) and noted Abreu's underrated defense.
