The focus around the Red Sox right now is entirely on the future, in the short-, middle- and long-term. They just fired Dave Dombrowski, and now there are questions about who will take over as the new head of Baseball Operations as well as how they will deal with the Mookie Betts situation, among others, in the next couple years as well as how they can rebuild the farm system. It’s an awful lot which won’t be answered soon, but it’s really where all the attention lies right now.
And yet, amid all of that the Red Sox still have to play baseball games.
