The Boston Red Sox experienced a tumultuous 2025 season, marked by debuts of three top prospects, the return of notable veteran pitchers, and a significant trade.

Witherspoon has swing-and-miss stuff, starting with a mid-90s fastball that peaks at 99 mph and stands out more for its power than its modest life.

The Red Sox play with aggression that borders on reckless, which allows them to get extra bases and cut down on the Nationals' scoring opportunities.

Yoshida's long recovery from shoulder surgery is nearing an end as he begins a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester to get back to the field.

"If the Red Sox do punt on this year, Buehler will have plenty of suitors in spite of his mediocre numbers this season. His postseason bona fides are obvious, and his sinker and slider have both played this season despite his fastball and curveball getting tagged. Starter, reliever, whatever: October is Buehler's time."

Crawford's ongoing injuries raise concern about his future contributions to the Red Sox, highlighting the challenges of recovering from dual setbacks in knee and wrist.
