If you had told me on the morning of March 28, while I was having a cup of coffee and a scone or whatever was on the menu for breakfast that day, that the Red Sox would open the year with a 7-3 record following a 10-game West Coast swing...I’d make that deal. How ‘bout you, dear reader? You’d make that deal?
I don’t blame you—damn good deal.
Sure enough, that’s how 2024 has begun for the Sox. The team will head back to Boston with a winning record in tow; it’s unclear if they’ll have to check that 7-3 mark at LAX along with the rest of their baggage.
