The Boston Red Sox finally returned to the postseason in 2025 after some excellent offseason moves by Craig Breslow and stunning top prospect debuts. Boston's strengths were not enough to best the New York Yankees, however, and it was eliminated after a demoralizing Wild Card Game 3 loss.
Now, the front office will turn its attention to a new round of offseason pursuits to fare better next year. The Red Sox are a rather young team without many impending free agents, so they likely won't have many pure vacancies to fill this winter, but they'll have to decide whether to pursue reunions with the players hitting the open market.
