Boston Red Sox CEO Sam Kennedy has plenty of praise for the team heading into the 2026 MLB season.<\/p>\n

The Red Sox were active this offseason, as Boston emphasized upgrading its pitching staff. Although the Red Sox did lose Alex Bregman, Boston brought in Willson Contreras to help replace his bat.<\/p>\n

With that, heading into spring training, Kennedy believes the sky is the limit for the Red Sox.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no ceiling on the 2026 Boston Red Sox,\u201d Kennedy said<\/a> on Sunday. \u201cThis group, if things come together, and we have good health, I think (the) sky\u2019s the limit for what we might be able to achieve. But it\u2019s February.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Red Sox made the playoffs last season, but lost in three games to the New York Yankees in the Wild Card round.<\/p>\n

It was a disappointing exit for Boston, but Kennedy believes it\u2019s a good building block for the team to learn from.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe said it at the end of the year, getting back to the postseason was the first step, and now we\u2019re looking forward to taking that next step,\u201d said Kennedy. \u201cWe won 89 games last year. We want to build on that regular season win total, get into the postseason, stay healthy, and take that next step in October. Obviously, winning a World Series is the ultimate goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boston enters the season with the seventh-best odds of winning the World Series at +1500.<\/p>\n
