Five key questions in Red Sox spring training

Nearly five months after they were eliminated by the Houston Astros in the ALCS, the Boston Red Sox are finally back. They’ll kick of the spring training slate with a Thursday matinee against the Minnesota Twins, beginning a marathon stretch of 19 games in 20 days.
