Red Sox 2025-26 Off Season

[Vermont Green]

The Red Sox were 4th in the AL for OPS and 3rd in the AL for runs in 2025.  That is without Bregman or Anthony for much of the season.  Getting middle of the line up bats is great, but BOS scored runs last season.  Granted, some guys like Romy Gonzalez had surprising seasons, but I don't think they need to overreach for improved position player production.  5 more seasons for guys already in their 30s is likely to turn out to be overreaching.

I wish it was the old days where BOS was in on every hot FA, it just isn't anymore.  I would rather they focus on pitching.

Get ready for an overpay of an aging, breaking-down Bregman, and another season of "Which 4 or 5 guys will get injured this year, leading to way more Eaton, Sogard, and triple-A pitchers than we want?"

We do at least have 8 MLB ready starting pitchers imo this year

Crochet, Bello, Gray, Oviedo, Dobbins, Crawford, Early, Sandoval

Tolle could get there as well reasonably soon. So barring another trade the concern will be more of a oh my god why does my line up feature Nick Sogard and David Hamilton for the 4th time this week. And less of an issue with triple A pitchers.
