The Boston Red Sox, despite failing to finish over .500 every year since 2021 and placing last in the American League East in three of the past five seasons, enter the 2025 campaign with expectations running at their highest level in the team’s recent memory.

The Red Sox would have to send at least one solid prospect and likely an MLB-ready arm, such as No. 7 ranked outfielder Jhostynxon Garcia and Kutter Crawford, who, despite also being in a contract year, is a bit of a surplus for Boston and would bolster the bottom of the Philadelphia rotation.
