The roster has been trimmed, the lineups and starters have been selected, and the uniforms will be hanging in the locker rooms. With the feel of America’s pastime renewing itself for another hectic season, all eyes will be on the title defense of the Boston Red Sox. Will they be the first team to repeat in nearly two decades?
While it is most noted that the organization had a subliminally quiet offseason, everyone will want to know how it panned out. The Red Sox recently extending Chris Sale to a 5-year, $145 million contract, signed relief pitcher Jenrry Mejia to a minor league deal, re-signed Nathan Eovaldi to a four-year deal, and world series MVP Steve Pearce to a one-year deal, while also acquiring Colten Brewer, another piece to the bullpen.
