Enjoy it! It's also a time for optimism and for Red Sox fans, there is also a strong belief/hope this team will be back in the postseason come October. Here are five reasons to carry a "glass half full" attitude into the 2025 MLB season: The top priority this offseason for Craig Breslow was to improve the starting pitching.

Boston’s Opening Day roster is expected include Gonzalez and David Hamilton as the utility infielders. Gonzalez also can play the outfield. The rest of the infield will include Casas at first, Kristian Campbell at second base, Trevor Story at shortstop and Alex Bregman at third base.

A new season brings new hope for Red Sox fans, especially following some big offseason acquisitions that have thrust them into contender status. With Alex Bregman at third base, Garrett Crochet as the ace of the pitching staff, a hot prospect set to make his major league debut, and a couple more right behind him, the outlook is bright.
