THE GAME. BUNDLE UP. YEAH, SHAUN, YOU’VE GOT A LOT OF PEOPLE COULDN’T YOU SPEAK TO THE GUY WHO DOES SCHEDULING ABOUT THE FOLLY OF SCHEDULING BASEBALL GAMES IN MARCH IN BOSTON? IT FEELS MORE LIKE WE’RE GETTING SET FOR WINTER GAMES. IT IS GOING TO BE WINDY AND COLD IF YOU’RE COMING DOWN HERE AND THE SOX ARE GOING TO LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT THIS YEAR AS WELL. RAFAEL DEVERS IS STILL HERE, BUT J.D. MARTIN, TEN, IS ALSO ZANDER BOGART’S AND NATHAN EOVALDI ARE ALL GONE. NOW LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE KEY NEW FACES

ON THE TEAM. OPENING DAY PITCHER COREY KLUBER IS A TWO TIME CY YOUNG AWARD WINNER. MACHA YOSHIDA HAD A GREAT PERFORMANCE IN JAPAN IN THE WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC. WE’LL SEE IF THAT TRANSLATES HERE TO THE MAJOR LEAGUES. JUSTIN TURNER, FORMER WORLD SERIES CHAMPION AND CLOSER KENLEY JANSEN, FINALLY GIVES THE SOX. AND THE ANSWER IN THE BULLPEN. SOME OTHER OPENING DAYS SCHEDULED AROUND THE LEAGUE INCLUDE WRIGLEY FIELD, DODGER STADIUM AND YANKEE STADIUM. AND THE GOOD NEWS IS THERE’S NO SNOW SCHEDULED TO FALL IN ANY OF THOSE GAMES. REPORTING LIVE OUTSIDE FENWAY, RAY BREWER, WMUR NEWS NOW.

I KNOW YOU LOOK ALL BUNDLED UP THERE, RAY. BUT WE DO HAVE A PLAYER WITH NEW HAMPSHIRE TIES. IT’S GOING TO BE AT TODAY’S GAME. YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT. AARON RYAN MCKENNA PLAYS FOR THE ORIOLES AND HE GRADUATED FROM SAINT

THOMAS AQUINAS HIGH SCHOOL IN DOVER, MAKING HIS MLB DEBUT IN 2021. AND IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR HIM ON THE FIELD, THE 26 YEAR OLD WEARS NUMBER TWO SIX. OH, THAT’S EASY.
