The 2020 Red Sox

As of right now, Opening Day in baseball is moved back to mid-May at the earliest. But, that doesn’t mean that baseball fans can’t anticipate what this season could turn into! For the Boston Red Sox, they’re currently waiting to nurture the many changes that were made this off season.

During the Winter, MLB cracked into a large sign-stealing scandal that involved Red Sox manager, Alex Cora. This resulted in him stepping down from his position. For the Red Sox, this meant new management going into the upcoming season. They have since places Chaim Bloom in the Boston Front Office while Ron Roenicke is their new manager. Authoritative positions are not the only thing that the Red Sox have changed.

The Red Sox traded some of the fan favorites, Mookie Betts and David Price. While both of those players were crucial to the lineup for Boston in the past seasons, the Red Sox made sure that they were not being left empty handed. The team still includes the talent of Xander Bogaerts, J.D. Martinez, Chris Sale and more. While I personally was sad to see Betts and Price go, I think all fans can be assured that Boston is left in good hands with the current players and their attitudes.

Coming off of a 2018 World Series win, the Red Sox were 84-78 in the 2019 season. This record landed them third in the AL East. It is definitely the goal of this team to go further this season than they did last season. They have told the media that they do not want to hear about the “sign-stealing investigation” events of this winter or all the players that they lost. They are determined to show the type of team that they can be. And honestly, if they can keep this attitude, stay healthy and play strong, they will be successful.
