The 2025 Boston Red Sox season was the 125th season in Boston Red Sox franchise history, and their 114th season at Fenway Park. Alex Cora was the team's on-field manager, in the fifth season of his second stint in that role. The team opened the regular season in an away game against the Texas Rangers on March 27, and concluded at home against the Detroit Tigers on September 28.[2]

On June 15, the Red Sox traded third baseman/designated hitter Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants.[3] Devers was the last remaining player from the 2018 World Series-winning roster.

The Red Sox clinched their first postseason berth since 2021 on September 26,[4] as they faced their longtime rivals, the New York Yankees, in the Wild Card Series. However, they were defeated by the Yankees in three games - their first postseason series loss against the Yankees since the 2003 ALCS.

The Boston Red Sox drew an average home attendance of 34,277, the 10th-highest of all MLB teams.[5]

Offseason

[edit]

In September 2024, the team announced the introduction of a new "City Connect 2.0" uniform for the 2025 season. The team retained its existing City Connect uniform (yellow and blue) while retiring their blue alternate road jersey that had been in use since 2009.[6] By late November 2024, the team had 10 players under contract for the upcoming 2025 season: Brayan Bello, Rafael Devers, Lucas Giolito, Liam Hendriks, Ceddanne Rafaela, Rob Refsnyder, Trevor Story, Garrett Whitlock, Justin Wilson, and Masataka Yoshida.[7]

Spring training

[edit]

The team's equipment departed Fenway Park on February 3, known as "Truck Day", in preparation for their arrival in Fort Myers, Florida to begin Spring Training.[54]

The first workout for the pitchers and catchers was held on February 12 at Fenway South, and their first full-squad workout took place on February 17, with the pitchers and catchers set to be joined by six infielders, six outfielders, and six infielder/outfielders for a total of 60 players, including 20 non-roster invitees.[55] On February 19, pitcher Matt Moore was signed to a minor league contract, and invited to join the team for Spring Training on February 23.[53]

The Red Sox' first spring training game was an exhibition contest against the Northeastern Huskies at Fenway South on February 21, which ended in a 5–2 victory for the team.[56] The team's Grapefruit League schedule ran from February 22 through March 23,[57][58] during which the Red Sox compiled a 15–12 record.[59]

They concluded spring training with two games in Monterrey, Mexico against the Monterrey Sultanes on March 24–25,[60] and won both games by 10–1 and 12–8 respectively.[61][62]

Amateur draft

[edit]

The 2025 MLB draft was held on July 13–14, 2025, in Cumberland, Georgia, site of the season's All-Star Game. With their 21 picks, the Red Sox selected 15 pitchers; the team only selected one high school player, in the 19th round, as all their other selections were college baseball players.[301]

The Red Sox acquired a Competitive Balance Round A pick (between the first and second rounds) as part of the April 7 trade that sent pitcher Quinn Priester to the Brewers.[302] The Red Sox received a Compensatory round pick (between the second and third rounds) due to the San Diego Padres signing Nick Pivetta.[303] The Red Sox did not have a pick in the second round, due to Alex Bregman signing with the team in February.[304]

Notes

[edit]
  1. Longtime Red Sox radio announcer Joe Castiglione retired at the end of the 2024 regular season.
  2. The July 1 game was suspended due to rain in the top of the fourth inning with the Red Sox leading 2–1;[222][223] it was completed before the regularly scheduled game on July 2.[224]
  3. Overall records for the entire season are presented—some minor leagues play a split season, with first-half and second-half results determining playoff participants.
