The Red Sox enter the 2023 offseason facing a lot of uncertainty.
Boston finished in last place in the AL East in 2022, going 78-84 as three of its divisional foes made the playoffs while the fourth is a team on the rise.
But before the Red Sox can worry about other teams, they’ve got a lot of internal issues to fix. They ranked 25th and second-to-last in the American League in team ERA (4.53) as both the starting rotation and the bullpen crumbled at several points of the season.
The Red Sox’ offense was still one of the best in baseball, ranking ninth in runs scored and in the top 10 in several other key hitting categories.
