"The Red Sox, as expected, were shut-out of all the major award winners in 2025, with Garrett Crochet and Roman Anthony coming the closes to bringing home the hardware in the AL Cy Young and Rookie of the Year races, respectively. But some have garnered recognition, including Aroldis Chapman, was just named the best reliever in the AL. (Alex Speier, Boston Globe)"
"In light of the fact that the Sox have two elite arms leading the bullpen in Chapman and Whitlock, you might think that relievers won't be a priority for Craig Breslow this offseason. But, according to sources, Breslow is on the hunt for another high-leverage reliever in hopes of creating a "super pen" like the Yankees and Phillies have done in recent years. (Ken Rosenthal, Will Sammon, Katie Woo, The Athletic)"
"But, at this point in time, Alex Bregman's status remains the big question of the offseason. And while Breslow was uncommonly forthright in speaking about the club's desire to add a top-of-the-rotation starter and a slugger for the middle of the order, he is keeping things close to vest regarding Bregman, saying "I'm going to stop short of talking about individual pursuits. We recognize what he has done for us. We also recognize what he could potentially do for us." (Chris Cotillo, MassLive)"
The Red Sox were shut out of major MLB awards in 2025, though Garrett Crochet and Roman Anthony received close consideration for AL Cy Young and Rookie of the Year. Aroldis Chapman was named the AL's best reliever and joined Crochet on the All-MLB First Team. The front office aims to add another high-leverage reliever to build a "super pen" despite having Chapman and Whitlock. Boston is among 12 teams linked to Devin Williams. Alex Bregman's offseason status remains uncertain, and the team continues to target a top-of-the-rotation starter and a middle-of-order slugger, with defense influencing potential signings.
