Guys, I have some bad news that is also good news – we’ve reached the end of TOC’s season preview series. We’ll close it out by looking at the reigning World Champion Boston Red Sox, who had a relatively quiet winter in comparison to their rivals from New York. Can the Red Sox once again hoist a pennant to the top of Fenway Park? We shall see.
Yesterday was Rays Day on TOC, and here’s your recap.
