While fans may be down on the major league squad, The Red Sox minor league affiliate in Portland, Maine, is likely to be one of the hottest tickets in the entire region. That's because the Sea Dogs are the likely landing spot for most of the Red Sox premium prospects for the 2024 season.

According to Sox Prospects, the Red Sox number one, two, and three prospects in their organization are all expected to start the 2024 season wearing a Sea Dogs uniform. Outfielder Roman Anthony, catcher Kyle Teel, and shortstop Marcelo Mayer are all considered high-ceiling players with promising major league futures.

Several other of the top 20 prospects in the organization are likely to start their season in Portland as well. Pitchers Luis Perales, Wikelman Gonzalez, Noah Song, and Yordanny Monegro have a chance to round out most of the Sea Dogs rotation.
