The equipment truck arrived. Pitchers and catchers reported. Position players joined them. The first games of 2019 began. And the Red Sox completed one other spring ritual: photo day.
You probably haven’t forgotten what the World Series winners looked like over the winter (well, maybe you have) but that’s what Spring Training is for! The team the assembled in Fort Myers is, more or less, the team that will take the field on Opening Day. Could the bullpen have a few position battles? Sure. Could Craig Kimbrel still return? Uhh... Will Dustin Pedroia be healthy enough to start the season?
