With six spots up for grabs this season, there’s a chance that four teams in a division could make the playoffs. Story was long considered to be an excellent consolation prize for the team that didn’t end up with Carlos Correa or Corey Seager, but the Red Sox were able to convince him to shift to second base in order to add him to an already impressive infield that consists of Xander Boegarts and Rafael Devers on the left side. In an offseason that saw quite a few high profile shortstops hit free agency, the Red Sox added one of the best of the bunch in Trevor Story. Monday, the Tigers welcome a different shade of laundry to Comerica Park in the Boston Red Sox, and these Sox also have high aspirations despite getting off to a rocky start.

What started out with a tremendously fun Friday quickly turned to a series to forget for the Detroit Tigers.
