A lot can change in a year. On this date one year ago, the Boston Red Sox were celebrating a World Series championship. Now they are staring ahead at an uncertain future.
Boston clinched its latest championship on October 28, 2019, by defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 5 of the World Series. David Price limited the powerful Dodgers lineup to one run over seven strong innings. Steve Pearce belted a pair of home runs on his way to earning the World Series MVP. Chris Sale put the game away with a wicked slider that sent Manny Machado stumbling to one knee.
