The Boston Red Sox have done well to position themselves for the future, with some believing they’re just getting started on their ascent back toward the top of Major League Baseball.

Steve Phillips, who served as general manager for the New York Mets from 1997 to 2003, was effusive in his praise for the club and discussed its promising future during an appearance on MLB Network on Wednesday.

“If I’m buying stock, I’m buying Red Sox stock right now,” Phillips said.

“… I think they’re in a great spot — they’ve got money to spend, they’ve got major league depth and surplus in the outfield… and they’ve got a terrific farm system, as well. I love where the Red Sox are positioned right now — they had a playoff team in 2025 and I think they can be really good in 2026.”
