Under the ownership of the Fenway Sports Group and team owner John Henry, the Boston Red Sox have been gradually cutting their payroll in recent years. Red Sox supporters have been more outspoken in their demands for change as the team has gotten bad and ticket costs have increased.
2018 saw Boston’s most recent World Series victory. The Boston Red Sox baseball club has been getting worse ever since winning the World Series, and at their present rate in 2024, they will miss the playoffs for the fifth time in the previous six years.
The Fenway Sports Group surrendered Chris Sale to the Atlanta Braves in an attempt to save money during that six-year period, moved away fan favorite Mookie Betts, let Xander Bogaerts leave in free agency, and didn’t chase elite free agents.
Consequently, the salary of the Red Sox has decreased over time, going from $233 million in 3017 to $206 million in 2022 and finally $171 million this year. Currently, Boston is tens of millions of dollars behind teams like the Toronto Blue Jays ($227 million), Texas Rangers ($226 million), and San Francisco Giants ($209 million) in terms of MLB team payrolls this season.
