With Spring Training 2.0, or “Summer Camp”, underway, Opening Day is now just around the corner. In under three weeks, the Boston Red Sox will suit up for regular season baseball (if it isn’t cancelled).
Eventually, the Red Sox will have to decide who gets the nod for Opening Day. As Chris Sale will miss the entire season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, the Red Sox will have to choose another pitcher to start the season for Boston.
The obvious choice seems to be Eduardo Rodriguez. He won 19 games last season and was in the running for the 2019 American League Cy Young Award.
