The Boston Red Sox have faced challenging times over the past six seasons. Since clinching the World Series title in 2018, they’ve amassed a cumulative record of 437-433, surpassing the .500 mark in only two of those seasons.
The team hasn’t made a postseason appearance since 2021, when they were defeated by the Houston Astros in the ALCS. Many fans and media outlets believe that the Red Sox have something exceptional in store for the 2025 MLB Season. They’ve made significant additions, such as pitcher Garrett Crochet and infielder Alex Bregman, and have retained players they consider essential for success.
This team possesses the potential to compete for the AL East Division and challenge the Yankees. The key lies in developing team chemistry and effective leadership from manager Alex Cora. Although optimism surrounds the Red Sox’s prospects this season, team president Sam Kennedy remains cautious.
On the Greg Hill Show, Kennedy offered a candid assessment of the team, which faces high expectations: “We’re not ‘back’ until we prove it on the field… We’re not ‘back’ until we’re celebrating with champagne in October.” Serving as the Red Sox president since 2016, Kennedy has witnessed the team’s peaks and valleys.
His satisfaction hinges on the team capturing their 10th World Series championship. They certainly have the talent and financial resources to achieve this goal.
