"Dean predicted 86 wins, which was the lowest number of the crew, and it feels like it would take a monumental failing to end up there by the evening of September 28th. Mike, you were right there at 87 wins. The rest of the crew was anywhere between 89 and 92 victories for the 2025 campaign. And that actually sounds reasonable."
"Fitzy and Matt Gross nailed it on the head that Ceddanne would break out this season, though little did any of us know how hot he would end up getting in July. Bryan Joiner-wow, did Garrett Crochet come through to be the face of this pitching staff beyond frankly my wildest dreams. The dude is a certified pig, straight up."
"The Big Three all in fact did make their debuts-one showing incredible consistency, one looking like a flash in the pan, and the other getting hurt. The starting rotation has an anchor, finally. Even more of the prospects have come up and made a positive impression- including cameos from Jhostynxon Garcia, Payton Tolle and Connelly Early - instilling a confidence that there's more in the pipeline."
The Boston Red Sox hold an 81-66 record with preseason projections ranging from 86 to 92 wins, suggesting current performance aligns with higher forecasts. Ceddanne delivered a breakout, peaking in July. Garrett Crochet emerged as the rotation's anchor, exceeding expectations. Marcelo showed promise before his season ended, while Quinn Priester's anticipated dominance has yet to materialize. Aroldis Chapman posted one of the most effective seasons of his career in a high-leverage closing role. Multiple prospects, including Jhostynxon Garcia, Payton Tolle and Connelly Early, made positive impressions, preserving realistic hopes for postseason and division contention.
