Red Sox Plummet: Worst April Ever?
30 Apr
Summary
- The Red Sox endured a 12-19 record as April 2026 concluded.
- Managerial changes and internal conflict plagued the team's performance.
- Historically, the 1932 team had a worse April by win percentage.

The Boston Red Sox are experiencing a historically poor start to their 2026 season, concluding April with a challenging 12-19 record. This abysmal performance has led to the manager's dismissal and surfaced reports of team infighting. The offensive unit has struggled significantly, unable to generate runs effectively, compounded by Garrett Crochet landing on the injured list.
While the 1932 Red Sox hold the record for the lowest win percentage in April, that team was not expected to contend. In contrast, the 2026 squad was anticipated to perform well. This year's April struggles are more severe than those of the underachieving 2011 and 2019 teams, and even the 2012 team, which was .500 at April's end.
