Former New York Mets general manager Steve Phillips believes the squad can take a step forward in 2026 and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d buy stock in the Boston Red Sox,\u201d Phillips said. \u201cI love the young position players and the young pitchers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer and Kristian Campbell have received plenty of attention as possible lineup cornerstones after they each debuted in 2025. Phillips was also impressed by late-season arrivals from pitchers Payton Tolle and Connelly Early, who could join Garrett Crochet and Brayan Bello in next year\u2019s starting rotation.<\/p>\n<p>Phillips is interested in seeing if the Red Sox make a significant offseason splash to complement their young players and address their biggest needs. He suggested a free agent who could leave his former franchise.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThey got a lot going in the right direction,\u201d Phillips said. \u201cThey need to fortify first base, figure out what they\u2019re gonna do there. Is (Triston) Casas the answer there? Can he stay healthy?<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cDo they go out and get a Pete Alonso? You start dreaming a bit about additions to this team. Improve the defense \u2014 they have to do that \u2014 but they\u2019ve got a solid core and a young team to build around for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>About the Author<\/h3>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/f1b9da40bcc105bcfef01ce9f8cd6338?s=96&amp;d=identicon&amp;r=g\" alt=\"Why Former MLB General Manager Would 'Buy Stock' In Red Sox\" \/><\/figure>\n<div>\n<h3>Andrew Gould<\/h3>\n<p>Editorial Writer<\/p>\n<p>Long-time sports writer and fantasy baseball aficionado.
