The article expresses optimism for the Red Sox's prospects at the start of the season, suggesting they could be favorites for the American League East title due to injuries affecting key competitors like the Yankees. Despite a strong roster and significant talent, concerns about starting pitcher injuries could hinder their performance initially. The author believes the team will improve as the season progresses, especially with emerging players like Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer likely to contribute to their success.
My one caveat/addendum is that the Sox will be a better team at the end of the season than they will be at the beginning.
This is the best team they've had on paper since Mookie Betts was still here.
They came into spring training with more starting pitching depth than they have had in years, and yet that depth is already being tested.
I do believe Roman Anthony, Kristian Campbell, and Marcelo Mayer will all help the major league team this season.
