Ranking every Boston Red Sox season from this decade
By Sean Penney
Ranking each season for the Boston Red Sox from 2010 to 2019, from the dismal lows to the euphoric highs of this past decade.
This decade has been a roller coaster of emotions for the Boston Red Sox. The last ten seasons have brought two World Series championships but we’ve also suffered through a few dismal last-place finishes. There have been pleasant surprises and soul-crushing defeats.
This decade has seen the Red Sox welcome bright new stars and wave good-bye to franchise legends. Mega-contracts have been handed to some free agents who thrived in Boston as well as some who didn’t pan out. There have been blockbuster trades to acquire superstar talent and deals that have shipped popular players out of town.
Red Sox fans have pretty much seen it all over the last ten years. We have celebrated and mourned, cheered joyfully and booed ferociously.
Every season is different in Major League Baseball. There’s always a new ending, new highlights and new reasons to spark debates with the fan base. Not all seasons are created equally, which is why we’re going back through the last decade to rank every Red Sox season.
