Red Sox Face Playoff Pressure, Struggle with Payroll
Update: 2025-11-30
Description
The Boston Red Sox may need to reconsider their budgetary approach for the 2026 season to stay competitive in the American League East. Despite having a strong farm system, they seem hesitant to spend big on free agents, unlike their division rivals, the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays. The Red Sox are comfortable with going over the first luxury tax threshold but are reluctant to incur larger deficits. Theyve made a notable trade for Sonny Gray but may not be willing to go all-in on multiple big-name free agents. The Yankees and Blue Jays, however, are actively pursuing top-tier free agents, potentially leaving the Red Sox behind in the playoff race.
