A quick glance at the Boston Red Sox list of their 2018 World Series winning team can make the medium quizzical baseball fan compared to the 2025 team.
Rafael Devers was their third basic player, Mookie Betts played on the right Field and Xander Bogaerts was the stop stop, not to mention players like Andrew Benintendi, Jackie Bradley Jr. and JD Martinez also strengthened the program as the team beat the Los Angeles dodgers in five games.

On Sunday, one of the last basic parts in the range was treated.
The Red Sox exchanges to the Giants of San Francisco against Jordan Hicks, Jose Bello, James Tibbs III and Kyle Harrison – an agreement that amazed the world of baseball. Despite its philosophical differences with the Red Sox, Devers struck .272 with a .905 ops and 15 circuits. He directed the American League in walks with 56 and had played the most matches in the majors (73).
Betts, which the Red Sox exchanged the Dodgers, offered its reflections after the team’s victory over the Giants on Sunday.
“I just thought it was crazy,” he told The Athletic. “Nothing really to say, it’s just crazy.”

The Dodgers launcher, Clayton Kershaw, also reacted to the trade as he was told during an ESPN segment on the wild movement.
“And this job? It’s wild,” he said. “Buster really does it! Not Olney; Buster Posey really does it there. Well for Bust, guy. He’s going for that. I would consider (delay) one of the 10 best players of the game at worst. He definitely changes the game.”
Almost seven years later, the Red Soxs operate with a completely different list from the one they had when they raised the commissioner’s trophy.
