Mookie Betts, Justin Turner, J.D. Martinez, Kenley Jansen, Kiké Hernández, Chris Martin, Ryan Brasier, Alex Verdugo … did I miss anyone?
The Dodgers are in Boston this weekend for a three-game series against the Red Sox, one that’s likely been circled on just about everyone’s calendar since the year began.
This is going to be a series full of reunions and a series full of firsts.
Mookie Betts has never played in Boston as a visitor. Kiké Hernández hasn’t played against the Red Sox since he was traded last month. Justin Turner hasn’t played against the Dodgers — the team that revitalized his career — since their partnership ended this past offseason.
