Red Sox: Predicting Boston’s 2022 Opening Day staring lineup

Examing the Boston Red Sox 2022 Opening Day lineup

The owners and players are meeting once again today and so far it’s been one of the longest and possibly most successful get together between the two sides. As the sun is shining through my window and the air is warm, I’m in a positive mood so I’m going to look toward the future. Even with spring training delayed, I think we should examine what the Red Sox lineup will look like when Opening Day rolls around.

There are plenty of familiar faces that shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone but I do have a few selections that are definitely straying from the norm for the organization.

I believe that once the lockout ends and the floodgates open, Chaim Bloom and his team will be making phone calls left, right, and center. We know the names that are still on the board and more specifically the ones that have been linked to Boston.

With all of that said, I don’t have the roster changing too much from the one we saw last on the field in 2021, but there are a few new pieces here and there. The Red Sox came within two games of the World Series last year and I think the few tweaks I have in my lineup could very well get them back to the Fall Classic.

Let’s take a look!
