If you've already turned the page on the 2019 Boston Red Sox being anything more than a 162-game disappointment, you're in luck, as the team released their 2020 schedule on Monday.
The Red Sox will begin the 2020 season on the road with a Mar. 26 head-to-head against the Blue Jays.
The Sox will play six road games in total, with three against the Jays and then a three-game set against the Orioles at Camden Yards, before they come to Fenway Park for an Apr. 2 home opener against the White Sox.
With next year's interleague play schedule focusing on the N.L. Central, the trip of the season for the Sox will undoubtedly come in June, when they embark on a three-game weekend series in Chicago against the Cubs on the 19th through the 21st. This will be Boston's first trip to Wrigley Field since a three-game series in 2012.
In addition to their N.L. Central slate, the Red Sox will play two two-game series against the Atlanta Braves in 2020.
And if this year's standings are any indication of what's to come in 2020, the Sox could benefit from a potentially soft landing down the stretch in 2020, as they'll finish the year with eight of their final 12 games coming against the Reds, Jays, and Orioles.
