At the Boston Red Sox’s October 6 end-of-season press conference, chief baseball officer Craig Breslow and Co. issued the usual promises to upgrade the team for 2026.
Breslow attested that Boston’s front office will bolster the lineup in a few ways, including through internal moves, the free agency and trade markets. Breslow has previously put the trade market and the Red Sox’s deep farm system to good use with possibly the best move of last offseason — he gave up four top prospects (Kyle Teel, Chase Meidroth, Wikelman Gonzalez, Braden Montgomery) for Garrett Crochet, and just one season in, the move was well worth it.
