The winter of 2025-26 has seen a lot of action out of the Boston Red Sox front office. The team has made nearly a dozen trades while free agent signings of MLB talent are still yet to begin (including bringing back Alex Bregman, the consensus man-for-the-job at Fenway’s hot corner).
Craig Breslow has brought in some new talent to take to the mound, but he has yet to find the true No. 2 starter that has long been a point of focus.
Breslow’s splashy exchange for Willson Contreras may have signaled an interesting new direction for the team’s priorities, both offensively and on the mound.
