It seems the Mets are finally going all-in for the 2025 Major League Baseball season. Will a blockbuster trade be part of the equation?
It’s widely known that the Red Sox are after two things: Juan Soto and starting pitching. Soto still may be a long shot, but there’s no reason they couldn’t land a top-tier starter. The only question is who they will pursue.

It seems the Boston Red Sox are finally going all-in for the 2025 Major League Baseball season. Will a blockbuster trade be part of the equation?
It’s widely known that the Red Sox are after two things: Juan Soto and starting pitching. Soto still may be a long shot, but there’s no reason they couldn’t land a top-tier starter. The only question is who they will pursue.
The Red Sox have shown a willingness to go above and beyond for younger players, as exemplified by extending Rafael Devers before his age-27 season and pursuing 25-year-old Japanese star Yoshinobu Yamamoto last winter.
Now, if recent reports are to be believed, the Red Sox seem willing to go above and beyond for anyone in a quest to get back to the playoffs for the first time in four years. But there is still a young starting pitcher on the trade market who might solve all their issues in one.
Garrett Crochet of the Chicago White Sox is the top trade target available, and the Red Sox seemingly have the prospect capital to make that deal happen. Ben Wrixon of The Score recently predicted that the Red Sox would indeed land the All-Star lefty in the biggest blockbuster of the offseason.
