4/14/25 | Wilyer Abreu's start has silenced the trade talk, as he looks more like an everyday Red Sox standout. For Abreu, that meant absorbing the lessons of an uneven rookie year with a focus on strength training and nutrition, looking to stay healthy and productive for the full season. Despite a stomach bug that cost him some weight at the start of spring training, Abreu has felt like a different player in the batter's box. Through 17 games, Abreu has tightened his strike zone in a way that has made him one of MLB's elite performers this season. Entering Sunday, Abreu had significantly reduced his chase rate (swinging at 21 percent of pitches out of the zone, down from 28 percent last year), contributing to a huge drop in swings and misses (down from 30 percent in 2024 to 16 percent in 2025).

4/10/25 | Why Longtime MLB Writer Appreciates About Two Red Sox Hitters. The Boston Red Sox, despite recent struggles, have had plenty of talent on display so far in their lineup to start the season.

Longtime baseball writer Peter Gammons joined NESN's Tom Caron and The Boston Globe's Alex Speier on the latest episode of the “310 To Left” podcast to discuss players such as Wilyer Abreu and Alex Bregman as well as their impact on the Red Sox in 2025.

4/08/25 | Red Sox's Wilyer Abreu keeping $360 million company to start season. Wilyer Abreu's start to the 2025 MLB season has been remarkable. The Red Sox right fielder is batting .424 (14-33) with three home runs, three doubles and 12 RBI in 11 games. He's also walked eight times to lead the league in on-base percentage (.537) and OPS (1.324). Abreu even had a highlight-reel throw from right field to nab a runner at third. It all adds up to a ridiculously quick clearing of 1.0 Wins Above Replacement in the Fangraphs fWAR calculation. There are only two other players in baseball who have reached 1.0 fWAR already: the Yankees' Aaron Judge and the Cubs' Kyle Tucker. They're both making slightly more money than Abreu.
