# 2023 Boston Red Sox season

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.
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, and Brian O'Halloran was removed as general manager, although not fired. 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.
The Red Sox ranked last in fielding among Major League Baseball (MLB) teams, and were criticized for poor pitching, a lack of pitching depth, and poor roster management.

## 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.

### Rule changes

MLB adopted several rule changes during the offseason. Briefly:
* A pitch clock will now be used.
* Pitchers are now limited to two "disengagements" (such as making a pickoff throw) during each batter's plate appearance.
* Use of the infield shift is now restricted.
* All three bases are increased from 15 inches (38 cm) square to 18 inches (46 cm) square.
Additionally announced in February:
* As was first done during the shortened 2020 season, all extra innings during the regular season will start with a runner on second base.
* When a position player can pitch has been slightly adjusted, based on the size of a team's lead and the inning.

### Spring training

"Truck day", when the tractor-trailer carrying the team's equipment departs Fenway Park for Florida, was February 3. The Red Sox had their first spring training game on February 24, a 5–3 exhibition win over the Northeastern Huskies at JetBlue Park. The Red Sox defeated Team Puerto Rico, 9–3, in an exhibition game on March 8. The Red Sox' preseason concluded on March 28. Boston's Grapefruit League schedule featured 18 home games and 16 away games. The team posted a 14–14 record while scoring 164 runs and allowing 161.

## 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. The team's schedule was constructed by MLB as follows:
* 13 games  ×  4 AL East teams (Yankees, Blue Jays, Orioles, Rays) = 52 games
* 7 games  ×  4 AL teams (Astros, Royals, Angels, Twins) = 28 games
* 6 games  ×  6 AL teams (White Sox, Guardians, Tigers, Athletics, Mariners, Rangers) = 36 games
* 4 games  ×  1 NL team (Braves) = 4 games
* 3 games  ×  14 NL teams (all other NL teams) = 42 games
Total: 162 games
