Breaking down the 2022 Red Sox schedule

Red Sox Nation, for a while, it looked like we were going to get a shortened 2022 MLB season. On March 1, after a week of negotiations in Florida, commissioner Rob Manfred announced that the MLBPA had rejected the owner’s offer and that he was canceling the first week of the season.

That scene repeated itself the next week when an agreement was failed to be reached by MLB’s arbitrary deadline and Manfred canceled another week. Forget 162 games: It seemed likely that the entire month of April would be wiped out.

Yet something unexpected happened the very next day. The MLB and MLBPA hastily and shockingly agreed to a new CBA, and the entire 162-game slate was preserved. With the Red Sox schedule now set in stone, I thought it would worthwhile to do a month-by-month breakdown of what lies ahead.
