Boston Red Sox Spring Training Schedule 2024: Start Date, Key Matchups, Tickets, TV Listings, and more

The 2024 season will be a big test for the Boston Red Sox after a 2023 season that saw them go 78-84, which was enough for them to come at the bottom of their division, the AL East, for the third time in four seasons. If things have to change for this historic ballclub, it has to start with Spring Training.

Despite the fact that not many observers expect the team to contend for a divisional title this year, they have made some key offseason moves. Both Canadian slugger Tyler O'Neill and former Cy Young contender Lucas Giolito can now call themselves new members of the club.

These changes, however limited, have been enacted under the leadership of new chief baseball officer Craig Breslow. Breslow, a former relief pitcher himself, won the 2013 World Series as a member of the Red Sox.
