Hey, everyone, it’s “this is a really fun group of guys, everyone gets along great” season! Spring Training provides few things that are more reliably fun than the stories about players bonding and coming together as a team. This is true even though these stories are written every year, even about clubhouses that end up proving as toxic as the mouth of the Mystic River. This year, we’ve got closest-to-the-pin outings, trips to TopGolf, and meals at Trevor Story’s house. (Peter Abraham, Boston Globe)
But, of course, the most fun thing about Spring Training is following the progress of the guy who you hope will be the Red Sox’ next breakout player.
