The Boston Red Sox have faced a tumultuous 2025 season, following ambitious offseason moves that included acquiring ace Garrett Crochet and third baseman Alex Bregman. These decisions sparked discontent among players, particularly Rafael Devers, who reluctantly transitioned to designated hitter. Injuries have plagued the team, sidelining key players like Kutter Crawford and Triston Casas, the latter suffering a season-ending knee injury. The Red Sox's pitching has been subpar, with their rotation ranking 22nd in ERA. The bullpen has also struggled, leading the league with 14 blown saves. Despite these issues, the Red Sox still have a chance at playoff contention but must turn things around quickly to avoid being labeled one of the league's biggest disappointments.
