She crushed it,” Kennedy said. “She just talked about what different members of the alumni community, player community, ownership community have done in the community and how … at the end of the day, the most important thing for these players is realizing they have an opportunity to be good people and the opportunity to give back. It was really powerful.”nnOver the years, the most memorable Red Sox teams are the ones that have been able to be equally impactful on and off the field.nnThe on-field part of the equation has lagged of late, with the club finishing in last place in the highly competitive American League East in two of the past three seasons, including a 78-84 finish last season.nn“A good start is really important,” Kennedy said. “And that’s really been Alex’s message this first week of camp. It’s about just getting better each day and not talking about what’s going to happen at the end of the season. Let’s get better in in Spring Training and in March and in April, and see a path to postseason, which is the goal. But, yeah, we need to get off to a good start, for sure.””,”type”:”markdown”},{“__typename”:”ExternalEmbed”,”data”:{“__typename”:”ExternalEmbedContent”,”html”:”
