Yesterday, Matt Gross wrote a great piece on the prospect that the 2025 Red Sox are poised to break out. They’re playing .500 ball despite a number of unusually poor individual performances, signaling that things could turn around if certain things occur, leading to the break-out of this middling slump.
I’m less inclined to agree with this point of view.
This team is FULL of talent. Garrett Crochet is a pig in the truest sense, looking like the ace the Red Sox have needed since the days of healthy Chris Sale in 2018.
