May start in RF Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Bradley could start in right field, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Impact When Boston brought Bradley back this offseason, it was presumed he'd be the starting center fielder, but Cora mentioned an outfield of Alex Verdugo in left field, Enrique Hernandez in center and Bradley in right. While Bradley made his reputation patrolling center field for Boston, the right field dimensions of Fenway Park requires an elite defender, so Bradley could be a good fit there. The elephant in the room, however, remains Bradley's bat. He batted .163 over 387 at-bats last season for Milwaukee. While a team might put up with a .230 hitter -- Bradley's career average -- as a trade off for elite defense, last year's performance is another story.

Sent back to Boston Bradley and minor-league infielders Alex Binelas and David Hamilton were traded from the Brewers to the Red Sox on Wednesday in exchange for Hunter Renfroe.
Impact Bradley endured a horrible offensive campaign after signing with Milwaukee in March, as he hit .163/.236/.261 with a 30.8 percent strikeout rate in 134 games. He still provides elite defense in center field and figures to open 2021 as the favorite to start in center for Boston, where he spent the first eight years of his major-league career.

Staying in Milwaukee Bradley will exercise his $9.5 million player option with the Brewers for the 2022 season, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
Impact It's hardly a surprise, as Bradley endured the worst offensive season of his career with a .163/.236/.261 slash line and 30.8 percent strikeout rate in 134 games. The 31-year-old remains one of the best defensive center fielders in baseball, but he'll need a significant rebound at the plate in 2022 in order to maintain a regular role in the Milwaukee outfield with Christian Yelich, Lorenzo Cain and Tyrone Taylor still under contract.
