The Boston Red Sox have one last dress rehearsal before their opening act.
The Red Sox and Chicago Cubs will face off at JetBlue Park in Fort Myers, Fla., on Tuesday afternoon in Boston’s final spring training game. The club has an off day Wednesday before beginning the 2018 regular season Thursday against the Rays in Tampa Bay.
