The BoSox Injection team collaborated on a roundtable discussion to answer questions about the 2018 World Series Champion Boston Red Sox.

The year is coming to a close and we’d like to wrap things up with a group discussion that reflects on an amazing year for the Boston Red Sox.

A lot happened to this franchise in 2018. Alex Cora was brought in to be the new manager and J.D. Martinez was signed to a lucrative free agent deal to solve the power outage in Boston’s lineup. It’s safe to say both moves panned out. The Red Sox won a franchise record 108 games en route to a World Series championship. Cora was a finalist for Manager of the Year in his first season in the role and Martinez entered the MVP conversation by making a valiant run at the Triple Crown.

The MVP would end up going to Martinez’ teammate, Mookie Betts, who also won a Gold Glove and a Silver Slugger. It seems about half the position players on this roster won a Gold Glove, Silver Slugger, or both.

So, yes, it was a busy year for the Red Sox. Too much to fully capture in one space but before we welcome the new year, we wanted to reflect on some of the best moments of 2018. I asked our staff five questions pertaining to this year’s championship team.

Let’s take a look at their responses.
