There is no denying that the 2023 season was a largely difficult one for the Red Sox and their fans. Although they occasionally looked feisty, this was a team with a low ceiling and it finished that way, with the Sox winding up in the AL East basement for the third time in the last four years.
Now that the 2023 campaign is in the books, it’s time for one last edition of our monthly player power rankings. For most renditions this season, we’ve generally used performance over the previous month as the primary means of evaluation, but since this is the final edition for 2023, these rankings be a more holistic look at the season, with no single-month’s performance, including September, tipping the scales more than any other.
