The 2023 Red Sox are still mathematically in the American League Wild-Card race as of Thursday night.
But after getting swept by the Houston Astros at Fenway Park as part of a 13-15 showing in August, Boston currently sits 6.5 games back from the third Wild-Card spot with a record of 69-65.
With a little over a month left in the regular season, FanGraphs has tabbed Boston with only a 4.6% chance of punching a ticket to the postseason.
During an appearance on WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show”, Red Sox president Sam Kennedy acknowledged the team’s unenviable position in what is already a cutthroat Wild-Card race.
