The Boston Red Sox now have another title and that will soon mean attention will be focused on the 2019 season.  This is a quick look at potential changes for the coming season.

The hangover will last awhile as Red Sox Nation enjoys victory fever over a spectacular 2018 season. But what does the future hold for the Red Sox? If previous championships are an indicator, the Red Sox will not repeat, but history does have a way of being rewritten.

The Red Sox are a team with question marks just like every other team, but we can certainly state that our question marks are considerably less than other teams as Boston has youth, money, an incredible fan base, and a resilience on and off the field.

The following is just an overview of what potential awaits in the offseason for the Red Sox and more will follow as the Duck Boats are put away and management gets down to formulating a team that can break the repeat curse – this team has been rather adept at beating curses.

With the ever-fluid dynamics of contracts, free agency, and trades the Red Sox will most certainly have new faces arrive and old faces leave. That is the nature of all professional sports and just look at the 2013 championship team as only three members were on the 2018 squad.
