Boston Red Sox

Manager: Alex Cora (second season). 2018: 108-54, first place, World Series champions. First Workout: Feb. 13/18. He’s Here: OF Gorkys Hernandez, RHP Jenrry Mejia. He’s Outta Here: RHP Craig Kimbrel, RHP Joe Kelly, 2B Ian Kinsler. Going campin’: The Red Sox are largely standing pat as they attempt to win back-to-back World Series for the first time in more than a century. The team that won a franchise-record 108 games in the regular season last year is largely intact, with All-star closer Kimbrel the biggest loss. Second baseman Dustin Pedroia is hoping to return from a knee injury that limited him to three games last season. Christian Vazquez, Blake Swihart and Sandy Leon will compete for two spots at catcher.
