The Boston Red Sox have been on a tear since the middle to the end of June. Boston is 32-5 since June 25th and it’s the best 37-game stretch in the franchise history. For the most part this team has been under .500 for the 2026 season and major turnover came earlier this year. Interim manager Chad Tracy has done a phenomenal job with this current roster after the team suffered injuries to Garrett Crochet and Roman Anthony have both missed most of this season.
The fact this team has a stron
Brock, I think when healthy Contreras is a good add. Based on his history in the game, even at DH and 1B his body is subject to historical levels of wear and tear, so I put his GP over/under at 108 since 135 seemed like a career year. I believe we bought high. We have to hope 2/3 of a player can be back filled by Casas, Yoshida and Abreu the lefty platoon player.
We are not ready to win the playoffs - We should get in but we can't win with the current lineup. We have a DH with little power hitting 227 and a replacement first baseman hitting 219. (Yoshida/Lowe). We scored 4 runs in 2 games against good pitching - Just like you will see against playoff teams. I like our young pitching but we must get replacements for the 2 mentioned hitters thru free agency or trade to contend. Don't see a solution in our farm system. Those two spots need to hit with power.
