On Monday, the Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays will open up a series in Canada.
The Red Sox (who had been the hottest team in baseball) are coming off a series where they dropped two out of three games to the Athletics at Fenway Park.
They most recently lost by a score of 4-3 on Sunday.

Ahead of Monday’s game, Andrew Parker of SoxProspects.com reported that the Red Sox have added a new pitcher to their organization.
Parker wrote: “The Red Sox have signed RHP Morgan McSweeney to a minor league deal, I’m told. McSweeney, a Hudson, MA native, pitched in the CPBL this season and was a locker room favorite during his time with the Orioles previously.”
McSweeney was picked in the 17th round of the 2019 MLB Draft.
He has yet to make his MLB debut.
During the 2025 season, the 28-year-old went 3-3 with a 2.21 ERA in 13 Triple-A games for the Miami Marlins’ organization.
