In this MLB mock trade, the Boston Red Sox send star third baseman Alex Bregman to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for ace Luis Castillo and key offensive depth, shaking up the playoff race before the 2025 trade deadline.

Here is the full breakdown of the Red Sox' 2025 draft class, starting with a pitching prospect with power stuff.

The 2025 draft marked chief baseball officer Craig Breslow’s second at the helm, and his first overseeing the full 12-month scouting cycle. The Sox spent eight of their first 10 picks on pitchers this year, and across Breslow’s two drafts, have used 29 of their 41 total selections on pitchers.

With the No. 15 overall pick, Boston snagged Oklahoma righty Kyson Witherspoon, a flame-throwing starter with high upside. Reaction to the pick has largely been positive, with multiple pundits stating that Witherspoon was their top-ranked right-handed pitcher in this year’s draft.

Ceddanne Rafaela hit a two-run home run to help the Boston Red Sox stretch their winning streak to 10 games by beating the visiting Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 on Sunday. Rafaela's home run came against Tampa Bay starting pitcher Ryan Pepiot and gave the Red Sox a 4-1 lead in the sixth inning.

The Boston Red Sox selected right-handed pitcher Kyson Witherspoon with the 15th pick in the MLB Draft on Sunday.

The Boston Red Sox's long-anticipated trio of Kristian Campbell, Marcelo Mayer and Roman Anthony have all made their debut.

According to The Athletic, Rays owner Stu Sternberg has agreed in principle to sell the team for $1.7 billion, with a deal expected to come as soon as September. The new owners will reportedly be a group that is led by Florida-based real estate developer Patrick Zalupski.
