The 2025 Red Sox season unfolded as a high-intensity, stop-and-start campaign marked by constant roster movement and extreme swings in performance. New additions and returns included Garrett Crochet, Alex Bregman, Lucas Giolito, Masataka Yoshida, and others. Key hitters cycled through prolonged slumps and hot streaks, with Rafael Devers and Trevor Story experiencing heavy strikeout stretches before hitting again at times. Pitching featured dominant stretches from Lucas Giolito, Brayan Bello, and Aroldis Chapman amid widespread injuries that sidelined nearly every starter and multiple relievers. Defensive flashes and lapses from Kristian Campbell, intermittent contributions from Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer, and several midseason roster shifts defined the campaign.
