Red Sox Bullpen Reinforced for 2025 Season

The Boston Red Sox are preparing for a potentially transformative 2025 season, following a disappointing bullpen performance in 2024 that contributed to missing the playoffs. Key acquisitions like Aroldis Chapman, Matt Moore, and Adam Ottavino, alongside returning players such as Garrett Whitlock, are expected to significantly bolster the bullpen. Whitlock, transitioning to a full-time reliever role, aims to replicate his successful 2021 performance. Meanwhile, pitcher Wyatt Mills, recovering from Tommy John surgery, is eager to contribute after a strong spring showing. Former Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. has hinted at retirement, though he hasn't filed official paperwork. The team is also keeping an eye on defining players like Walker Buehler and Garrett Crochet, who are crucial for their postseason aspirations.
