That is especially true for the Dominican Republic, and this year’s team will be one of the favorites to come away with the championship. […]

The Boston Red Sox did not have a very good offseason. If it weren’t for the fact that they finally managed to sign Rafael Devers to a long-term extension, it would have been a complete wash.

Not much went the Boston Red Sox’s way over the course of the 2022 regular season.

The Boston Red Sox 2022 season has been utterly confusing. They have spent some stretches looking like one of the best teams in baseball, and others where they look fascinatingly incompetent.
