LOS ANGELES, CA – OCTOBER 28: The Boston Red Sox celebrate with the World Series trophy after their 5-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game Five to win the 2018 World Series at Dodger Stadium on October 28, 2018 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images) /

The BoSox Injection staff collaborated on a roundtable discussion to debate our predictions about the upcoming Boston Red Sox season.

The Boston Red Sox open their 2019 schedule in Seattle this week, leaving us with only a bit more time to make predictions for the upcoming season.

Boston is coming off a franchise record 108 wins and a World Series Championship last year. That’s a tough act to follow, even for this star-studded roster. The Red Sox will return most of last season’s championship core, albeit with a few key pieces missing in the bullpen. Will it be enough to remain on top or have their American League rivals closed the gap? Which players will thrive and who is due to regress? Can we expect another trip to the postseason this October?

These are the types of questions we aim to address. I posed five questions to our staff and asked that they respond with their predictions to each one.

While most of our writers are generally optimistic about this team (how could you not be?!), we found some variance in who we expect will fuel Boston’s success and what challenges they may face this season.
