The Red Sox have made some big-time acquisitions in a very successful decade of baseball. Here we rank the top five of these.

The 2010s have been extremely good from a baseball perspective for the Boston Red Sox. Four division titles and two World Series championships make this past decade one to remember for sure.

There have been so many big-name free agent signings and trade acquisitions made. A number of these have landed key players in Boston who’ve been integral parts of the two World Series-winning teams. In terms of ranking these, it’s obviously subjective. But, looking at what these players have added from a statistical point, a clubhouse point and how fans have taken to them, there are a number of shoe-ins, really.

Boston fans have always been lucky with the array of talents that they’ve been able to see on a day-to-day basis, April through October nights. From Cy Young to Ted Williams to David Ortiz, the talent has always been at Fenway Park.

The different teams, with different personnel, have always been there, and the front offices have always done good jobs of getting winning baseball rolling in Boston. The last decade has had its highs and lows, but when it gets looked back at it’ll be remembered as a special time in Red Sox history. Here are the top-five additions to this ball club through signings or trades over the last ten years:
