The Boston Red Sox have an overloaded outfield, and it got more packed this week when chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said that versatile prospect Kristian Campbell would be played permanently in the outfield as well. Campbell bounced between middle infield and the outfield in his short stint with the major league club at the start of this year, before being optioned to Triple-A Worcester for the duration of the campaign.

But before sending him down, the Red Sox inked the 23-year-old Campbell — ranked by Baseball America as the No. 4 prospect in the game prior to the season — to an eight-year, $60 million contract extension, so the organization would be understandably reluctant to trade him, assuming it could find any takers.
