Former White Sox Stars Lead Teams in 2025 MLB Playoffs

The 2025 MLB playoffs feature significant involvement from former Chicago White Sox players, such as Garrett Crochet who pitched impressively for the Boston Red Sox, and Dylan Cease and Carlos Rodon who will also appear in key games. Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Rays experienced a disappointing season, finishing 77-85, with Christopher Morel notably underperforming after being acquired from the Chicago Cubs. The playoffs highlight not only current performances but also the value of rookie cards from stars like Bryce Harper, Aaron Judge, and Fernando Tatis Jr., which have seen notable market activity. The Boston Red Sox's 26-man Wild Card roster includes over a dozen players who progressed through their Double-A affiliate, the Portland Sea Dogs, illustrating the importance of their farm system in postseason readiness. Additionally, The Athletic honored several former Red Sox World Series champions, including David Ortiz, Curt Schilling, Josh Beckett, and Kyle Schwarber, recognizing their clutch performances and lasting legacies in baseball history.
