But, you probably won't...

I don’t have that kind of time. 8 parts?? I haven’t even watched “The Comeback” on Netflix yet. I’m not interested in living in the past. I want to see the Sox actually make the playoffs again. Lol

Rays ditch new stadium deal, putting Tampa Bay future in doubt. Will owner sell?

The Rays announced they would not fulfill their financial commitment to a $1.3 billion stadium project.

I’ll save you the trouble: The 2024 Red Sox were a major disappointment that missed the playoffs. Now that I’ve saved you 12 hours, come clean my gutters and paint my fence.

Red Sox are having their own injury issues:

-Devers hasn’t played at all yet and those shoulders are a concern.
-Bello hasn’t pitched yet and almost certainly won’t be ready for the start of the season.
-Giolito hasn’t pitched yet.
-Wilyer Abreu hasn’t appeared in a game yet.
-Casas(always a question mark) hasn’t been seen in a while.
-Yoshida won’t be ready for the start of the season.
-Kutter Crawford hasn’t even ramped up yet.

Lots of holes in that roster at the moment.

Updating this list with less than 2 weeks to go until opening day:

-Devers STILL hasn’t appeared in a game, but says he’s fine and will be ready for opening day. He’ll be the full-time DH it seems.
-Bello will start the season on the DL
-Giolito pitched 1 inning and hurt his hamstring and HE will start the season on the DL
-Wilyer Abreu has not played at all yet and he, too, will start the season on the DL
-Casas seems healthy, despite not playing much this Spring.
-Yoshida has played some this Spring, but his shoulder is not ready for outfield duty yet. With Devers slated to be DH, there is no room for Yoshida, as a result. He’ll start the season on the DL.
-Kutter Crawford apparently is not close to anything resembling a game yet. Even though he isn’t very good, he’s been a reliable innings-eater in the past.
-Trevor Story’s back is bothering him(shocker). He says it’s not a big deal, but we’ll see.
