The 2025 offseason was the first offseason in years that it felt like the Boston Red Sox's front office and ownership group were fully buying into the team. The young core that had been coming together over the previous few season was finally supplemented with high end talent.
First, it was the trade for Garrett Crochet, giving the team the top of the rotation arm they had been missing since Chris Sale's last fully healthy season in Boston. Then it was the signing of Alex Bregman, a playoff-tested, veteran third baseman who was going to lead all the young players.
