FORT MYERS, Fla. — The Boston Red Sox are in transition, with a massive shift as players and coaches gear up for an exciting two-game exhibition series in Monterrey, Mexico, against the Sultanes de Monterrey. As the team packs their bags, a select number of key players are staying behind at Fenway South for additional workouts before heading to Arlington, Texas for the highly anticipated season opener on Thursday.

Manager Alex Cora has kept fans on the edge of their seats regarding the status of the 26-man roster, resisting the urge to share details about player movements even after informing highly-touted prospect Kristian Campbell that he will indeed be part of the Opening Day lineup. As roster decisions trickle in, the most recent cuts have kept the excitement alive, leaving Red Sox supporters eager for the final lineup.

Currently, the Red Sox have 43 players remaining in camp, including 11 non-roster invitees. However, with the finalization of the roster looming, the front office team—led by Craig Breslow—seems closer to their ideal 26-man squad than these numbers suggest.

Let’s break down where things stand heading into the new season:
