It’s Make-or-Break Time for Red Sox Shortstop Trevor Story

Trevor Story the Boston Red Sox shortstop is facing a crucial season in 2025. After signing a six-year $140 million deal with the Red Sox in 2022, Story has struggled to live up to expectations due to injuries and inconsistent performance ¹.

Story’s first two seasons with the Red Sox were marred by injuries, including right-hand and left-heel contusions in 2022 and elbow surgery in 2023. He appeared in just 137 games over those two seasons, hitting a paltry .227 with 19 home runs, 80 RBIs, and a .685 OPS ¹.

Despite his struggles, Story remains optimistic about his chances of turning things around in 2025. He acknowledged that he hasn’t shown his true potential in Boston, but he’s eager to prove himself as a well-rounded player ¹.

The Red Sox organization is also counting on Story to bounce back in 2025. With the addition of new players like Alex Bregman and Garrett Crochet, the team is looking to make a deep playoff run, and Story’s performance will be crucial to their success ².

Story’s defense has been a bright spot in his Red Sox career, with above-average defensive skills at shortstop. However, his offense needs to improve significantly if he wants to justify his contract and secure his spot in the Red Sox lineup ¹.

As the 2025 season gets underway, all eyes will be on Trevor Story to see if he can finally live up to his potential and become the impact player the Red Sox thought they were getting when they signed him in 2022.
