Dennis Eckersley Honored To Be Recognized Among Boston’s Great Athletes
Dennis Eckersley shared his thoughts on being honored among Boston’s iconic athletes before taking the stage at The Tradition.
The Red Sox begin Grapefruit League play Saturday, but it looks like they already have an idea of what the rotation will look like ahead of Opening Day.
Brayan Bello and offseason addition Lucas Giolito are locked in starters for Boston, and it has multiple other candidates vying for a spot.

This means there are two rotation spots up for grabs, and if Crawford earns the No. 4 slot, that leaves Garrett Whitlock, Tanner Houck and Josh Wincowski as options for the No. 5 spot in the rotation.
