The Boston Red Sox season opens in less than a week. The 26-man roster is far from final — the starting rotation wasn’t determined until Friday afternoon.
But before Thursday, the Red Sox need to narrow their Opening Day squad down to 26 players. The roster is bound to go through many changes throughout the season, especially with all the current injured Red Sox.
The Opening Day roster will feature depth options in the infield as Vaughn Grissom rehabs from a groin issue. Rob Refsnyder is also sidelined with a fractured toe and he’s likely destined for the major league roster upon his return. Changes are imminent all over.
Fans and reporters have been pleasantly surprised with the Red Sox’s play this spring. Their pitching is better than imagined and their offense has recently taken off at a run. Unforeseen successes for players up and down the roster will make final cut decisions exceptionally hard, but only 26 active players can travel to Seattle to start the season.
