Red Sox Trio Named AL All-Star Reserves

Boston Red Sox pitchers Garrett Crochet, Alex Bregman, and Aroldis Chapman, all acquired in the offseason, have been named American League All-Star reserves for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game. Crochet leads MLB in strikeouts with 151 and recently secured his ninth win of the season after a sweep of the Washington Nationals. This marks Crochet's second consecutive All-Star selection, and notably, the first earned without the requirement that every team be represented. Manager Alex Cora and chief baseball officer Craig Breslow praised the trio for their leadership and positive impact on the clubhouse. Crochet credited his improvement to the support from his catchers and coaching staff. Bregman’s All-Star recognition is especially notable as he was sidelined by injury at the time of his selection.
