The Boston Red Sox are evaluating whether to trade minor league infielder Franklin Arias during the upcoming offseason, according to recent speculation. Arias, who plays for the Double-A Portland Sea Dogs, has drawn attention for his performance in the 2026 season.
A photograph from May 26, 2026, shows Arias celebrating a victory with teammates at Mirabito Stadium in Binghamton, New York. The 20-year-old prospect has been part of the Red Sox farm system and could be used as a trade asset to address major league needs.
No official decision has been announced, and the front office is expected to explore multiple options before the winter meetings.
