It's based on run differential so you can't get the Pythagorean win total till after the season is over. They had a lot of close losses and hit a lot better in the 2nd half. So, like any team filtering in young talent slowly you get variances in run production and runs allowed. We can see where they were weak. Overall it was a lot of late inning losses or the high leverage relief pitching was bad .The starting was less than mediocre. 1st half of the season the offense wasn't scoring enough . The 2nd half ( which is not a totally accurate term) the hitting was much improved due to some young hitters finding their way. So in theory you get better relief pitching and continue what happened with the hitting, then those theoretical wins become real wins . I think its fairly evident that there's been more effort to get more late inning wins and improve the record in 1 and 2 run losses. Getz wants to establish more wins every year, hopefully by 10 or more each season as they work in more of the top pitching prospects and create enough depth among the hitting prospects to end up with an over .500 team in year or 2. How far above .500 is based on how fast those prospects become consisently good. 2025 was a very good year for Sox rookies and the organization. They now need to show it was real. And the depth has to keep getting better. The Sox should get more high quality talent in the 2026 draft. There will always be those who quibble about organization wins now because this is all pretty new and as much as I'd like to think getting Shane Smith and Mike Vasil in the Rule 5 may have been about the best you can hope for, you dont really know until a few years after. But traditionally it's not been a fruitful way to help very much. But it's great that they can take advantage of the bad records and upgrades in scouting and R&D to identify and develop guys like that in such a short period of time. Shane Smith, in particular, would be akin to watching a top pitching prospect develop in the Sox system for 3 or 4 years but it happened in less than a year after the Rule 5 draft.
