Another season of Boston Red Sox baseball is finally upon us after a long winter that included plenty of improvements to the team.
Excitement is palpable in Red Sox Nation as a new ace will take the mound, a Gold Glover takes over at the hot corner and top prospects near MLB readiness. For the first time in years, Boston is expected to be one of the better teams in the American League East, and the battle for a division title begins March 27.
The Red Sox will open their season against the Texas Rangers in their home ballpark, Globe Life Field in Arlington. Garrett Crochet will get the start against former Red Sox World Series champion Nathan Eovaldi. Opening Day festivities will begin at 4:05 p.m., on the East Coast and at 3:05 central time.
Here's how Sox fans across the country can tune into the Opening Day action to get their first glimpse of a revamped Boston team.
