← 2024 Seasons

The 2025 Boston Red Sox season will be the 125th season in Boston Red Sox franchise history, and their 114th season at Fenway Park. Alex Cora is under contract as the team's on-field manager, in what will be the fifth season of his second stint in that role. The team is scheduled to open the regular season in an away game against the Texas Rangers on March 27, and conclude with a home game against the Detroit Tigers on September 28.[1]

Offseason

In September 2024, the team announced they would introduce a new "City Connect 2.0" uniform for the 2025 season, while retaining their existing City Connect uniform (yellow and blue) and retiring their blue alternate road jersey, which had been introduced in 2009.[2] As of late November, the team had 10 players under contract for the 2025 season: Brayan Bello, Rafael Devers, Lucas Giolito, Liam Hendriks, Ceddanne Rafaela, Rob Refsnyder, Trevor Story, Garrett Whitlock, Justin Wilson, and Masataka Yoshida.[3]

  • January 17: The Red Sox avoid arbitration with Jarren Duran by signing him to a one-year deal with a club option for 2026.[45] The Red Sox also traded pitcher Chase Shugart to the Pirates in exchange for minor-league pitcher Matt McShane.[46]

Spring training

The team's first spring training contest is scheduled for February 21, an exhibition contest against the Northeastern Huskies at JetBlue Park. The team's Grapefruit League schedule runs from February 22 through March 23.[48][49] The Red Sox are scheduled to conclude their spring training with two games in Monterrey, Mexico, on March 24–25 against the Monterrey Sultanes.[50]
