Three New Year’s Resolutions for the Red Sox in 2021

Happy New Year, Red Sox Nation! Now that we’re officially in 2021 by a couple of days we can start to really gear up for spring training. Like many of you out there, there are things that I’d like to work on in the coming year and have goals for myself. The Red Sox should be no different as they have plenty of things that they need to put on their goal board for this year.

A historically bad team in 2020 has set the tone for either a massive rebound like a phoenix rising from the ashes this upcoming season or another campaign at the bottom of the barrel. With the way that the front office is talking, you’d expect Alex Cora to be raising the Commissioner’s Trophy in October. However, with the way the front office is acting, it feels like it’ll be another year of disappointment.

When I look back at 2020 it feels like there are some obvious things that Boston needs to work on this year if they truly want to contend as the season progresses. This last year saw their pitching be atrocious and unreliable, the offense was stagnant, and the little mistakes pile up to cost the team wins. It really was one hell of a miserable year for this team.

With that said, let’s look at the resolutions that the Red Sox should make for 2021!
