Red Sox Strengthen Rotation but Face Questions About Lineup Balance

Boston's revamped pitching staff shows promise, but the team continues to seek a right-handed power bat to complement its lefty-heavy lineup.

The Red Sox bolstered their rotation with the additions of Walker Buehler, Garrett Crochet, and Patrick Sandoval, aiming for a six-man setup with significant depth.
Buehler, signed to a one-year, $21.05 million deal, brings championship experience and strong postseason performance despite past injury concerns.
The lineup remains a work in progress, with Boston actively pursuing a right-handed power hitter to balance its lefty-dominant roster.
Free agent Alex Bregman is seen as a potential fit for the Red Sox, though team officials have not confirmed any ongoing negotiations.
Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow emphasized the team's commitment to building a competitive roster for 2025 while also preparing for future seasons.
