After a half decade's worth of underwhelming offseason acquisitions, the Boston Red Sox returned to a big market level of spending in 2025. Craig Breslow's savvy moves helped propel Boston back to the postseason, but just appearing in October is not the end goal.
The Red Sox have a solid few deficiencies to addres on their roster before they'll be able to pull off a longer playoff run. They lacked power in their offense and their rotation ran out of steam (and healthy options) in the final stretch. It could take some big signings and blockbuster trades to address their issues, and not every fan is confident they'll take the necessary risks to acquire such talent.
