The Red Sox hope to close out this month strong, but they’ve also built a strong foundation for continued success.
Boston is 4 1/2 games out of the final American League wild-card spot heading into Friday’s matchup against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. Alex Cora’s side continues to fight through each game in every series, but the veterans know this experience will help the team in the long run.
“I really believe in this team. The future is bright,” Kenley Jansen told Tom Caron and Alex Speier on NESN’s “310 To Left” podcast. “You can see guys like Jarren (Duran), and (Ceddanne) Rafaela and all these guys: (Wilyer) Abreu, Connor (Wong). I think the future is bright here. (Rafael) Devers is still young. They just got to keep grinding. We all got to keep grinding. Right now, we have this season. We can’t take it for granted. We just got to finish strong, get in the playoffs. But I really feel like they aren’t far behind.”
The Red Sox must win every series the rest of the month, including a pivotal one against the Minnesota Twins, to give themselves a chance at the postseason. Boston didn’t get off to a strong start Thursday, but it will look to bounce back Friday in the second game of a four-game series against the Yankees.
