Red Sox Clinch Wild Card Berth -- Eyes Set on World Series

The Boston Red Sox have secured an American League wild card berth, earning their place in the postseason despite not claiming a division crown. Yet expectations inside the clubhouse remain anything but modest. “We expect to win the World Series, simple as that,” closer Liam Hendriks said shortly after the team officially locked up its playoff spot, making clear that merely reaching October isn’t the goal.

If the Red Sox can follow through on those ambitions, they’ll claim the 10th World Series title in franchise history—another chapter in one of baseball’s most storied legacies. For now, they enter the postseason carrying confidence, urgency, and the weight of big expectations.
