Few teams are going into the 2023 season with more problems than the Boston Red Sox. Notably, the Red Sox are coming off a disappointing 2022 season, where they only won 78 games. They ended their last season in the AL East with much room for improvement. And after their fiasco in 2022, one would assume them to have a decent free agency. But to everyone’s surprise, the BoSox hasn?t been good in their offseason as well, with several key players leaving in free agency.?
The Red Sox will have a tough time in the upcoming season as well, given their relatively weak roster. But their problems keep increasing as most recently, their veterans reportedly have issues with a rookie?s pregame routine.

That sounds like an amazing pregame routine. Everyone has different routines and he isn’t bothering anyone so I don’t understand why this bothered some of the veterans.

Sounds like a broken ball club. You never interfere with your teammates routine. Let them do them. Whatever gets them in the mindset. If it ain’t working then offer some suggestions 😂😀

Seems like a perfectly healthy routine that benefits him both mentally and physically.

Notably, the Boston Red Sox lost Xander Bogaerts in free agency this year. They have also lost other key players and failed to replace them adequately. Furthermore, many sources predict that the Red Sox are going to have another disappointing year in 2023.?
Will the Red Sox be able to get back to their usual best this season?
Even though the Red Sox’s arch-rivals, the New York Yankees did not have a good enough off season, their roster still looks one of the strongest in the entire league. On the other hand, the Red Sox will suffer the same fate in the 2023 season, if they do not make some massive change to their roster.
