Boston Red Sox off-season begins with questions about designated hitter

The Boston Red Sox's off-season has commenced following a sweep against the Yankees in the Wild Card Series. The team struggled offensively, scoring only two runs combined in the two games. With a total of 689 runs and 163 home runs during the season, they ranked 23rd and 26th in the majors, respectively. The front office is now faced with the challenge of redefining their designated hitter role and making roster adjustments to enhance offensive performance. The Red Sox will need to decide how to incorporate a dedicated hitter while considering the impact on current players before pursuing new additions.
