# 2022 Boston Red Sox season

The 2022 Boston Red Sox season was the 122nd season in Boston Red Sox franchise history, and their 111th season at Fenway Park. The team was led by Alex Cora, in the second season of his second stint as the team's manager. The team finished with a record of 78–84, in fifth and last place of the American League East division. Total attendance (at the team's 81 home games) was 2,625,089, an average of 32,409 per game.

## Season recap

The team's regular season was originally scheduled to open on March 31, with a home game against the Tampa Bay Rays, and conclude on October 2, with an away game against the Toronto Blue Jays. On December 2, 2021, Commissioner of Baseball Rob Manfred announced a lockout of players, following expiration of the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between Major League Baseball (MLB) and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA). On March 10, 2022, MLB and the MLBPA agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement, thus ending the lockout. Opening Day was then scheduled for April 7 as an away game against the New York Yankees, but it was postponed to April 8 because of inclement weather. Boston's schedule was updated to conclude with a home game on October 5 against Tampa Bay. Although MLB previously announced that several series would be cancelled due to the lockout, the new CBA provided for a 162-game season, with originally canceled games to be made up via doubleheaders.
The Red Sox entered the 2022 season having reached the 2021 ALCS where they fell two wins short of appearing in the World Series. After compiling a 23–27 record through the end of May, the team went 20–6 during June, only to fall back under .500 in the second half of July. The Red Sox were decimated by key injuries and poor executive decisions, particularly failing to address a lack of offensive production at the first base position, which hampered the team. On July 22, the Red Sox suffered a historic 28–5 home loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. The 28 runs set a new Red Sox franchise record for the most runs ever allowed in a single game. Additionally, that loss along with two prior losses to the Yankees had a cumulative run differential of -47, the worst in a three-game stretch by any MLB team since 1900. The team went 8–19 during July, falling into last place in the AL East and ending the month with a 51–52 record approaching the MLB trade deadline of August 2.
The team made several trades prior to the trade deadline, resulting in Christian Vázquez, Jake Diekman, and prospect Jay Groome leaving the organization, while Tommy Pham, Eric Hosmer, and Reese McGuire joined the team. Shortly after, the Red Sox released Jackie Bradley Jr., who batted .210 with three home runs and 29 RBIs in 91 games. Five days later, on August 9, he signed with the Toronto Blue Jays. That same day, Chris Sale reportedly broke his right wrist while riding his bike to grab lunch and was ruled out for the rest of the season. On August 25, it was announced that James Paxton, who was already injured, suffered a type 2 latissimus dorsi tear the week before and was also ruled out for the rest of the season. On August 29, despite the team's playoff chances hanging in the balance, Red Sox president Sam Kennedy announced that both manager Alex Cora and general manager Chaim Bloom would return in 2023. The team had a losing record during August and ended the month at 63–68, still in last place in their division.
On September 3, the Red Sox announced that closer Tanner Houck would undergo a lumbar discectomy, ending his 2022 season. On September 19, they released Kevin Plawecki. He signed a major-league contract with the Texas Rangers two days later. On September 20, the Red Sox also announced that Garrett Whitlock would undergo arthroscopic hip surgery for a right hip impingement and would not return for the remainder of the season either.
On September 25, the Red Sox needed a win on Sunday Night Baseball to avoid a series sweep at Yankee Stadium and keep their playoff hopes alive. Only two runs were scored, both by the Yankees, and the game went into a rain delay after the sixth inning. After 90 minutes, the game was called, giving the Yankees a 2–0 win and the series sweep. With this loss, the Red Sox were officially eliminated from playoff contention. The following day, Boston sports radio producer Jimmy Stewart shared his thoughts on 98.5 The Sports Hub radio podcast The Baseball Hour with Tony Mazz, "Epic fail by this team. They should be competing for the American League Championship Series. The fact that they have such a high payroll, they mismanaged so many things, Garrett Whitlock amongst other things. Players underperforming, players asking for help, and then going on a long losing streak, this is an epic fail. This is one of the worst Red Sox seasons of the last twenty years."
With their 9–0 loss in Toronto on September 30, the Red Sox were assured of finishing a 162-game season with a losing record for the first time since 2015. The team went on to finish with a 78–84 record. Hall of Fame inductee and NESN color commentator Dennis Eckersley retired from broadcasting at the end of the season, having spent 50 years in professional baseball.

## Offseason
### Lockout

The expiration of the league's collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the Major League Baseball Players Association occurred on December 1, 2021, with no new agreement in place. As a result, the team owners voted unanimously to lockout the players, stopping all free agency and trades.
The parties came to an agreement on a new CBA on March 10, 2022.

### Rule changes

Pursuant to the new CBA, several new rules were instituted for the 2022 season:
* Use of the designated hitter by the National League
* Expansion of the postseason from 10 to 12 teams
* Allowing teams to have their players wear advertising patches on uniforms and helmets
Additional changes were approved in late March:
* Expansion of teams' active rosters during April from 26 to 28 players (due to a shortened spring training)
* Starting any extra innings with a runner on second base
* Allowing pitchers who bat (e.g. Shohei Ohtani) to remain in the batting order after being removed as the pitcher
* Playing nine-inning doubleheader games (discontinuing the use of seven-inning doubleheader games)

### Spring training

The team's Grapefruit League schedule was originally scheduled to run from February 26 through March 29. The actual start of spring training was impacted by the lockout, as practices did not begin until March 13, with games spanning March 17 to April 5. The Red Sox compiled a spring training record of 11–8 (.579), scoring 91 runs while allowing 87.

## Regular season

The team's schedule was constructed by MLB as follows:
* 19 games  ×  4 AL East teams (76 games)
* 7 games  ×  6 AL teams (42 games)
* 6 games  ×  4 AL teams (24 games)
* 4 games  ×  2 NL teams (8 games)
* 3 games  ×  4 NL teams (12 games)
Total: 162 games

### MLB debuts

Red Sox players who made their MLB debuts during the 2022 regular season:
* May 28: Josh Winckowski
* June 22: Jeter Downs
* July 6: Brayan Bello
* August 29: Zack Kelly
* September 4: Triston Casas
* September 17: Frank German

### Transactions

Notable transactions of/for players on the 40-man roster during the 2022 regular season:
* On April 28, the team claimed outfielder Jaylin Davis off waivers from the San Francisco Giants; he was added to Boston's active roster the following day, as Travis Shaw was designated for assignment by the team. Shaw subsequently declined a minor-league assignment and became a free agent.
* On May 14, Davis was designated for assignment to create room on the roster as Rich Hill returned from the COVID-related list. Davis was later sent outright to Triple-A Worcester.
* On June 10, the team added Rob Refsnyder to the roster; Jonathan Araúz was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Araúz was later claimed off waivers by the Baltimore Orioles.
* On June 18, the team acquired pitcher James Norwood from the Philadelphia Phillies for cash considerations.
* On June 20—the effective date of MLB limiting teams to carrying 13 pitchers on their 26-player active rosters—the team designated Norwood for assignment, and added infielder Jeter Downs to the active roster. Norwood later cleared waivers and was sent outright to Worcester.
* On June 30, the team traded pitcher Silvino Bracho to the Atlanta Braves for cash considerations. Bracho had been added to Boston's active roster for a series in Toronto, but did not make an appearance. He was designated for assignment, then traded.
* On July 5, following a loss to the Tampa Bay Rays, the team designated relief pitcher Hansel Robles for assignment, and released him on July 9.
* On July 9, as part of a number of roster moves, the team added relief pitcher Kaleb Ort to the roster; Michael Feliz was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Feliz then declined a minor-league assignment, electing to become a free agent.
* Only July 26, the team designated relief pitcher Phillips Valdéz for assignment. He was subsequently claimed off waivers by the Seattle Mariners.
* On August 1, the day before the MLB trade deadline, the team made three trades:

## Farm system

Minor-league managerial staffs were announced in early February 2022. In March, Major League Baseball announced that Minor League Baseball would resume its use of historical league names, which were in use prior to the reorganization of the minor leagues for the 2021 season. Thus, regional league names used during 2021 (such as High-A East) were discontinued after only a single season. Additionally, the classification level known as Low-A during 2021 was reset to Single-A.
In May 2022, the Red Sox had five players included on the list of baseball's top 100 prospects by Baseball America: Marcelo Mayer (14th), Triston Casas (18th), Nick Yorke (33rd), Jarren Duran (84th), and Brayan Bello (97th).
