"Trevor Story was saved by money. Amidst a Red Sox tenure that had been defined almost entirely by injuries, Story entered the 2025 season healthy, finally. And with that health. . . he proceeded to be one of the worst players in the world for two whole months of the baseball calendar. His OPS bottomed out at .581 on May 28. He'd struck out 67 times in 54 games. He was ugly, unwatchable, and poised to be DFA'd."
"On June 7, Story collected three hits in a game against the Yankees, including a double. He would collect two hits in each of his next three games, too. Those nine hits represented a full 15% of his total production for the whole season at that point, but he was off. Over the remaining three-plus months of the season, he raised his OPS by 160 points, while somehow staying as healthy as anyone in baseball."
Trevor Story entered the 2025 season healthy after injury-plagued years. He performed extremely poorly for April and May, posting an OPS as low as .581 on May 28 and striking out 67 times in 54 games. The Red Sox retained him because of his $72.5 million remaining contract rather than cutting him. Beginning June 7 he produced a multi-game hitting streak that jumpstarted his season. Over the final three-plus months he increased his OPS by 160 points, maintained his health, hit 25 home runs, and finished with a 3.0 fWAR, placing fourth among team position players.
