The Red Sox, according to ESPN, still have some "work to do" if they want to reach the postseason for the first time since 2021.
The Boston Red Sox lost first baseman Triston Casas to a devastating knee injury in May. The 25-year-old had struggled early in the season, but carried high expectations to return to his prior form in which he put up a 129 and 124 OPS+ in 2023 and 2024 respectively.
Boston Red Sox's Alex Cora cautioned his team against trusting trade deadline rumors, claiming some ESPN personnel 'made s--- up' during his time at the network.
But don’t let that “second level” label fool you. Boston’s outlook has brightened considerably. In last month’s Stock Watch, ESPN gave the Red Sox just a 17.8% chance of making the postseason. On Tuesday, their playoff chances sat at 87.6%.
After being held to just two hits over eight innings, the Red Sox came through in the ninth with a walk-off win against Miami.
