You may have read some Boston Red Sox news on El Emergente. Now, we’re happy to share that it’s very likely we will be covering certain games at Fenway Park this season. Ignacio Serrano and I have been working on ideas to continue growing this site, and moving forward, you’ll also find some content in English, including daily news about the Red Sox.
“There’s a reason we got him here. We envision him as a true No. 1″, said Alex Cora to MLB.com. «But we truly believe with where we are as an organization and what he represents, it will be good for him to make the first pitch of the season. His stuff is big».
Garrett Crochet and the Boston Red Sox will open the season on March 27 against the Texas Rangers. Manager Bruce Bochy has designated former Red Sox pitcher Nathan Eovaldi to face them.
Cora has also finalized the rest of his rotation for the series against the Rangers, naming Tanner Houck and Walker Buehler as the starters for Games 2 and 3.
“Obviously, I did it last year,” said Crochet to MLB.com. “But this year, I definitely really had to earn it. I’m excited».

Brayan Bello and Lucas Giolito will start the season on the IL. Richard Fitts and Quinn Priester are likely to fill their spots until they recover, but that has yet to be confirmed. Manager Alex Cora also stated that the team still needs to decide on their starting second baseman and closer.
