The 2023 Boston Red Sox season was the 123rd season in Boston Red Sox franchise history, and their 112th season at Fenway Park. The team was led by Alex Cora, in the third season of his second stint as the team's manager.

Contents

The Red Sox began their regular season on March 30, in a home game against the Baltimore Orioles. On September 14, Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom, who joined the team following the 2019 season, was fired, [3] and Brian O'Halloran was removed as general manager, although not fired. [4] On September 20, the team was eliminated from playoff contention for the second straight season. The team's season ended on October 1, finishing with a record of 78–84, in last place of the American League East. Average attendance was 32,989 for their 81 home games during the season, 12th-highest in the league. [5]

The Red Sox ranked last in fielding among Major League Baseball (MLB) teams, [6] and were criticized for poor pitching, [7] [8] a lack of pitching depth, and poor roster management. [9] [10]

Offseason

The team entered the offseason with the status of several players, most notably Xander Bogaerts, unclear due to expiring contracts or opt-out clauses. [11]

[58] The Red Sox defeated Team Puerto Rico, 9–3, in an exhibition game on March 8. [59] [60] The Red Sox' preseason concluded on March 28. [61] Boston's Grapefruit League schedule featured 18 home games and 16 away games. [61] The team posted a 14–14 record while scoring 164 runs and allowing 161. [62]

Regular season

For the first time, MLB scheduled each team in the league to play every other team in the league during the regular season, resulting in Boston facing National League (NL) teams 46 times, compared to 20 times under prior scheduling. [63] The team's schedule was constructed by MLB as follows: [63]
