The Boston Red Sox just got done finishing in last place for the second time in the past three seasons. They lost Xander Bogaerts to the Padres without putting up much of a fight to keep him. The owner got booed at Red Sox Winter Weekend. The owner also got booed at the Winter Classic hockey game at Fenway Park. Fans are still mad about Mookie Betts getting traded. Boston eventually started making moves this offseason, but it’s still not a great time for baseball fans in Beantown at the moment!
