Boston Red Sox Announce Top Prospects for 2025

The Cincinnati Reds are considering acquiring outfielder Brent Rooker from the Oakland Athletics, potentially trading top prospect Rhett Lowder in return. Rooker had a standout season with 39 home runs and a high OPS, making him an appealing target for the Reds, who need power hitters. However, Athletics' GM David Forst has indicated that Rooker is unlikely to be traded, despite the team looking to increase its payroll for the upcoming season. In related news, Reds prospect Chase Petty had a mixed 2024 season, finishing with a 4.20 ERA over 28 starts across two levels, showing signs of improvement mid-season. Meanwhile, Cooper Pratt, a top prospect for the Milwaukee Brewers, was recently recognized as the 2024 Gold Glove winner at shortstop, highlighting the talent in the league's minor systems. The Boston Red Sox are also spotlighting their farm system, with Roman Anthony emerging as their top prospect heading into 2025.
