The youth movement is well underway in Boston.
And while the 2025 Red Sox are anchored by veterans like Alex Bregman and established big-league talent like Garrett Crochet, Boston has received a sizable lift this summer by an influx of dynamic young players.
The Red Sox’s current 10-game win streak has been orchestrated by several youngsters, especially a promising rookie class that features Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer, Carlos Narvaez, and others.
Add in second-year pros like Ceddanne Rafaela, and Boston seemingly has plenty of bright years ahead with this core in place.
But even with the promise and product already showcased by the likes of Anthony, Mayer, and Kristian Campbell, Red Sox legends Jim Rice and Fred Lynn believe that others should pump the brakes when it comes to making comparisons between Boston’s current young core and the “Gold Dust Twins” of yesteryear.
