Final thoughts
In a year that had many disappointments and the Red Sox ultimately finished in the cellar again, there was much to enjoy and even more to be excited about. The emergence of Boston’s young and devastatingly capable talent like the “Killer B’s”, Mookie Betts, Xander Bogaerts, Jackie Bradley, Jr., and the revelations of Travis Shaw, Eduardo Rodriguez, Blake Swihart, Brock Holt and others has our mouths wet for the years to come.
Perhaps even more satisfying than all the things I have listed is the fact that this team that came around a little too late has the chance to do it all next year, with a little help over the offseason. And could we really think the same this time last year?
