The Boston Red Sox were an excellent team in 2017, going 93-69 and winning the AL East before losing to the Astros in the Division Series.
The Red Sox made one major transaction in the offseason, signing J.D. Martinez as a free agent. As you know, Martinez has terrorized pitchers all season, hitting .333/.400/.665 while leading the majors in home runs (37), RBIs (104), extra-base hits (71) and total bases (292). He's second to teammate Mookie Betts with a .333 batting average, 17 points behind Betts, so a Triple Crown remains a possibility.
