Red Sox Slump Deepens With Six-Game Losing Streak After Devers Trade
The Boston Red Sox's 2025 season has been marked by inconsistency and struggles, particularly following the mid-June trade of star Rafael Devers. Prior to the trade, the team was on an upswing, having just swept the New York Yankees and climbing above .500, but since losing Devers, their offense has collapsed, leading to multiple losing streaks and a decline in run production. Injuries to key players like Alex Bregman, Triston Casas, and Masataka Yoshida have further thinned the lineup, forcing reliance on rookies and veterans who have yet to fully compensate for the lost production. Despite some bright spots such as Garrett Crochet’s strong pitching and rookie Carlos Narváez’s emergence as a consistent hitter, the team's poor execution in the field and on the bases has contributed to a sub-.500 record and diminished playoff chances. The Red Sox currently sit in fourth place in the AL East, trailing the Yankees by seven games, with FanGraphs projecting their playoff odds have nearly halved since the Devers trade. The team hopes to stabilize and improve upon the return of injured players like Bregman, but pressure remains on the entire roster to step up and reverse the downward trend as they enter the second half of the season.
