MLB's next big thing: Why Red Sox are flying under radar

Is it just me, or are the Boston Red Sox running a little under the radar this season?

I can't really quantify that, but I strongly suspect I'm not the only one who's picking up that vibe. Now, let's be clear: This is the Red Sox, so of course they are getting attention. From the viewpoint of the club, the crucible of the Boston media likely seems just as intense as it always has been. It's the national buzz that I sense is lacking.

Compare the coverage of this year's Red Sox to that of last year's Dodgers and Astros, or the Cubs in 2016.
