The 2024 Boston Red Sox season will be the 124th season in Boston Red Sox franchise history, and their 113th season at Fenway Park. The team began a search for a new head of baseball operations in September 2023, following the firing of Chaim Bloom along with the removal of general manager Brian O'Halloran[1]—Craig Breslow was hired as the team's new Chief Baseball Officer in October 2023. Alex Cora is expected to return as the team's on-field manager.[2] The team's regular season is scheduled to begin on March 28, in a road game against the Seattle Mariners, and conclude on September 29, in a home game against the Tampa Bay Rays.[3]
