Although the 2025 Boston Red Sox finally managed to clinch a postseason spot for the first time since 2021, the season still ended for Boston after a Wild Card Series loss.
While Craig Breslow has no shortage of detractors, he made many moves to build a successful ball club last season. Bringing in Aroldis Chapman, Carlos Narváez, Alex Bregman and Garrett Crochet were all extremely successful additions that helped bring the team to the postseason.
Whoever made Breslow watch Moneyball this offseason bestowed the franchise with a blessing and a curse. Breslow has been wheeling and dealing, but there is a clear shift in his team-building strategy.
