The Boston Red Sox were able to attain a franchise record 108 wins during the 2018 regular season. With two MVP caliber players in Mookie Betts and slugging outfielder J.D. Martinez, opposing teams were left with tough decisions. Walk around one to face the other which was just as deadly. Case and point, the Sox offense was the best in the league this year ultimately leading the team to the postseason and winning their first World Series title in five seasons.
Martinez was a known slugger, slashing .330/43/130/6 in 2018. How could anyone argue with those numbers?
