The Boston Red Sox Double-A affiliate the Portland Sea Dogs wrapped up their regular season and failed to make the playoffs, the playoff format is typically whoever finishes in first through the first half clinches a spot then the best record in the second half clinches the other spot unless it’s the same team from the first half then the team in second clinches the spot, the Sea Dogs despite having the best record in the Eastern League Northeast division couldn’t get the job done as they finished the regular season 78-60. In the first half, they finished 36-33 which was 2.5 games back of first place, and then in the second half, they finished 42-27 and 1.5 games back of first place. The one takeaway was they had four prospects named to the Eastern League All-Star team Marcelo Mayer was named 2024 All-Star at shortstop, Roman Anthony was named an outfield All-Star, catcher/designated hitter Kyle Teel was named All-Star for designated hitter, and utility Kristian Campbell was named an All-Star; Campbell was also named Most Valuable Player for the Eastern League in 2024.
