Ceddanne Rafaela, Wilyer Abreu, Caleb Durbin finalists for Gold Gl0ve

The Boston Red Sox have three standout defensive players in the running for this year’s Gold Glove, with Ceddanne Rafaela, Wilyer Abreu, and Caleb Durbin making the finalists list. Rafaela, the team’s centerfielder, led all American League outfielders in Fielding Run Value with 16 Outs-above-average, ranking ninth overall in baseball and making six game-saving plays with a catch probability below 10%.

His standout moment included a 76-foot sprint in just 4.1 seconds to secure a near-impossible catch. Meanwhile, Abreu—despite posting just 2 Outs-above-average—dominated in Defensive Runs Saved, leading all of baseball with 28, a full 12 ahead of Pete Crowe-Armstrong, the National League’s top defensive outfielder.

His arm strength remains a defining asset, as evidenced by a highlight-worthy throw this season, though his range metrics lag behind those of his teammates. The trio’s defensive prowess underscores the Red Sox’s depth, even as questions persist about their offensive contributions.
