Two Red Sox outfielders earn Gold Glove Awards
This marks the first time that the Red Sox have had multiple Gold Glove winners in the same season since 2018.
The Red Sox’ outfield took home some hardware for the 2025 season — as both Wilyer Abreu and Ceddanne Rafaela were named as 2025 Rawlings Gold Glove Award winners on Sunday night.
This marks the second straight year where Abreu has won the A.L. Gold Glove in right field — with the 26-year-old winning the award over the Rangers’ Adolis García and Astros’ Cam Smith.
Rafaela, 25, is a first-time winner after beating out a pair of other finalists Royals’ Kyle Isbel and Mariners’ Julio Rodríguez.
Even though Abreu was limited to just 115 games this past season due to injuries, his eight Outs Above Average led all A.L. right fielders — as did his seven runs prevented.

Rafaela led all A.L. centerfielders with both 21 Outs Above Average and 19 runs prevented — with only Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong leading him across the big leagues.
This marks the first time that the Red Sox have had multiple Gold Glove winners in the same season since 2018 — when Mookie Betts, Jackie Bradley Jr., and Ian Kinsler all won the award.
The Red Sox had a chance to sport three Gold Glove winners this season, but rookie catcher Carlos Narvaez came up short as a finalist — losing to Detroit’s Dillon Dingler.
It was still a strong first season for Narvaez, who led all MLB catchers by throwing out 32 potential base stealers in 2025.
