Boston Red Sox
6 roto titles · 126 seasons (1901–2026)
The Boston Red Sox have a deep roto trophy case: six titles in 126 seasons. The first arrived in 1903, and then nothing at all for 99 seasons, which makes the recent title the start of a second era rather than a continuation. Their average finish is 9.9 all time, against 10.0 over the last ten seasons, essentially unchanged from its historical level.
The best single roto season in franchise history belongs to Ted Williams in 1942, worth a 27.4 z-score. He owns 9 of the franchise’s 50 best seasons outright. Read the All-Franchise Team below knowing its slots are strict: Babe Ruth, Chick Stahl and Jimmy Collins all out-rate somebody who made it, and missed only because their position ran out of room.
