Current Leadership
Principal Owner
John Henry, a commodities trader turned sports magnate, led Fenway Sports Group's acquisition of the Boston Red Sox in 2002 for $660 million. Under his ownership, the Red Sox ended their 86-year championship drought with the iconic 2004 World Series victory and have since won four titles (2004, 2007, 2013, 2018). Henry's Fenway Sports Group has grown into one of the largest sports ownership entities in the world, also owning Liverpool FC, the Pittsburgh Penguins, and a NASCAR team.
Chairman
Tom Werner, a television producer known for hit shows like The Cosby Show and Roseanne, has served as chairman of the Red Sox since the Fenway Sports Group acquisition. Werner has been instrumental in the business side of the franchise, helping transform Fenway Park into a year-round entertainment destination and overseeing significant renovations to the historic ballpark while preserving its character.
President of Fenway Sports Group
Mike Gordon serves as the president of Fenway Sports Group and is a key minority partner in the Red Sox ownership group. A former private equity executive, Gordon has been integral to FSG's expansion strategy and the financial management of the Red Sox franchise, helping to grow the organization's global sports portfolio.

Historical Figures
Former Owner
The Jean R. Yawkey Trust controlled the Red Sox following Jean Yawkey's death in 1992, with John Harrington serving as the team's CEO. The trust eventually sold the franchise to John Henry's group in 2002. The Yawkey name remained associated with the team through Yawkey Way (now Jersey Street), though the street was renamed in 2018 due to the family's complicated racial legacy.
Former Owner
Tom Yawkey purchased the Red Sox in 1933 at age 30 and owned the team for over four decades, making him one of the longest-tenured owners in baseball history. While he invested heavily in the team and was beloved by many players, his legacy is deeply complicated by the Red Sox being the last team in MLB to integrate, not fielding a Black player until Pumpsie Green in 1959.
