There are certain MLB analysts who doubt the Boston Red Sox's ability to win the American League East in 2026, but don't count Harold Reynolds among them.

On Wednesday, Reynolds explained why the Red Sox are a "sneaky threat" to win the division.

 

 

According to Reynolds, concerns over Boston's lack of power/offense are overblown, mostly because the Red Sox play in a park that is so conducive to run production.

Reynolds also reminded viewers that the Red Sox have a wealth of starting pitching depth, such that an arm as talented as Brayan Bello figures to be their No. 4 starter entering the season.
