OK, so this might actually be the ultimate dress rehearsal for the 2025 Boston Red Sox.
The Sox spring training slate is winding down, and with Opening Day now less than a week away, Alex Cora might be tipping his hand on a final roster ahead of Friday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The best part for Sox fans? Friday night’s game is on NESN at 6 p.m. ET.
Garrett Crochet will get one final tune-up before the regular season begins, as he’ll get the ball to start at JetBlue Park.
The other big news, especially following an intriguing roster decision Wednesday, is Kristian Campbell will get the start at second base. Cora has acknowledged the club is nearing a decision on its infield, so it’s certainly possible Friday night’s lineup is a sign Campbell might have the gig locked up. Either that or this is one of his final chances to make his case in a crowded race for the position.
