There is growing optimism surrounding the Boston Red Sox as they head into the 2025 season, largely due to key roster additions through trades and free agency. The team made a significant investment in its pitching staff this offseason, signing Walker Buehler to a one-year, $21.05 million contract and acquiring top pitcher Garrett Crochet from the Chicago White Sox via trade.

The early signs for both pitchers have been extremely promising, giving Red Sox fans plenty of reason to be optimistic. Crochet appeared in 32 games for the White Sox last season after seeing limited action in 2023 while recovering from Tommy John surgery in 2022.
He earned his first career All-Star selection in 2024. Meanwhile, Buehler made a strong comeback with the World Series-winning Dodgers after missing the entire 2023 season due to the same surgery. Now, he’s aiming to return to his peak form, which earned him an All-Star nod in 2021. Both pitchers have impressed during Spring Training and are expected to play a key role in strengthening Boston’s roster for the 2025 season.
