After a two-year hiatus, the Boston Red Sox announced plans for “Winter Weekend.”
The event will return to Springfield on Jan. 20-21, 2023 at MGM Springfield and its neighboring facility, MassMutual Center, per press release.
Red Sox “Winter Weekend” includes a Town Hall Meeting with Red Sox leaders, autographs and photos with Red Sox players and round-table discussions on a variety of baseball topics. The weekend also includes a full baseball festival for fans of all ages.
Major League Baseball Hall of Famers David Ortiz, Pedro Martinez, Dennis Eckersley, Jim Rice and Wade Boggs are confirmed to be in attendance. Members of the 2023 Red Sox team, including coaching staff will be in attendance, as well as Boston alumni, Wally the Green Monster and his sister Tessie.
