Red Sox send Rusney Castillo, Jackie Bradley Jr. to Triple-A

Neither move is a surprise, really, but theyre still interesting: Boston has sent last years Opening Day center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. and this offseasons $72.5 million Cuban signing Rusney Castillo to Triple-A

Outfield depth is a huge strength for the Red Sox, wholl go with Hanley Ramirez in left field, Mookie Betts in center field, and Shane Victorino in right field, with Allen Craig and Daniel Nava on the bench.

Obviously something has to give there at some point, because Castillo is a high-upside prospect and the Red Sox didnt give him $72.5 million to sit at Triple-A for long and Bradley still has upside despite flopping as a rookie. Moving on from the 34-year-old Victorino would seem to be the most likely way to clear a spot in a month or two, but in the meantime hes getting a chance to show hes got some gas left in the tank.
