are the red sox out of the playoffs

Yes, the Boston Red Sox are out of the playoffs. They were eliminated after a 4-0 loss to the New York Yankees in Game 3 of the Wild Card round of the 2025 MLB playoffs. This ended their season after a positive step forward to return to the postseason for the first time in four years. Despite the playoff exit, the Red Sox showed promise with a young core and several strong performances throughout the season. However, defensive mistakes and a lackluster offense in the crucial games contributed to their early elimination.
