After a long offseason that saw a major trade, some signings, and a major league promotion, the Boston Red Sox are ready to open the season against the Texas Rangers.
The headliner for Boston: Garret Crochet. This will be the first time in a few years that the season opens with an ace. Given that he only has one season as a starter that might be a tad premature to write, but it’s the role he wants to fill. His Spring Training was, as they say, off the hook. He struck out 30 in 15.
