The Boston Red Sox may not have made the postseason in 2024, but they’re already preparing for the 2025 season and making plans for next year’s roster.
Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow will need to address the team’s biggest needs if they want to become contenders in 2025 and beyond.
This offseason, one of Boston’s biggest needs will be relief pitching, as they have some key players from their 2024 roster hitting the market.
