This week’s GM Meetings mark the unofficial start of the MLB offseason, providing a forum for every club’s top decision-makers to get together in Las Vegas, discuss their needs and lay the groundwork for future deals.

For Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow, that will likely mean plenty of conversations involving his outfield.

The Red Sox currently have five starting-caliber outfielders in Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela, Wilyer Abreu, Roman Anthony and Masataka Yoshida, along with just four lineup sports to accommodate them. Injuries kept that from being an issue most of last season, but during the few stretches everyone was healthy the only way Alex Cora could play everyone was by sticking Rafaela, one of the best defensive outfielders in baseball, at second base.
