The 2016 season for the Boston Red Sox effectively ended when Drew Pomeranz hung a curveball to elderly Coco Crisp in Game 3 of the ALDS. Although the team had 12 more outs to give, the feeling after that home run by the former Red Sox centerfielder was grim and ultimately true, as the Indians hung on to clinch the sweep.
As spring training games get started in gearing up for the 2017 season, the Red Sox are primed to make another run at baseball glory, thanks to grade-A offseason acquisitions to a roster with a plethora of talented assets.
