The Red Sox will launch the season with a game against the Northeastern University Huskies.

The club will play 18 home games and 16 away games, including 32 Grapefruit League games against seven American League teams and four National League teams.

For the first time since 2017, a World Baseball Classic exhibition game will be played at JetBlue Park on March 8. The Red Sox opponent for the World Baseball Classic matchup will be announced at a later date.

    Coping with Winter Cold
    Dr. Jerry Jackson
    Animals in south Florida don’t have to worry much about winter cold – and indeed many migrants from areas farther north find suitable living conditions here. But, a trip to the beach or on a rare blustery day sometimes makes one wonder. How do ducks, herons, egrets, and other birds tolerate wading or swimming in cold weather? Aquatic birds, for example, have bare skinny legs with leg muscles placed among insulating feathers.Blood vessels going to and from the very few muscles in the legs and feet lie right next to one another, and cold blood going back into the body is warmed by warmer blood coming from the body – and is nearly the same temperature as the blood circulating in the well-insulated body.

    Failure of second eagle egg a certainty; many possibilities for no hatch
    Michael Braun
    It's nearly a certainty that E26 will be an only eaglet. The second egg is days past the 40-day benchmark for a successful hatch and the hope for a "Christmas Miracle" has come and gone like so much holiday gift wrapping. Breeding pair F23 and M15 can be seen on the Southwest Florida Eagle Cam as they continue to dutifully roll the egg. But it's probable that their ministrations will be for naught. They are also dutiful in their care and feeding of E26 with the fuzzy little chick continuing to thrive and grow.

    Winter storm snarls U.S. holiday travel across Northeast, Great Lakes; flights cancelled at RSW
    The Associated Press
    More than a thousand flights were canceled or delayed across the Northeast and Great Lakes as a winter storm disrupted one of the busiest travel weekends of the year between Christmas and New Year's. As of Saturday morning, New York City had received around four inches of snow, under what some forecasts predicted, but at least 1,500 flights were canceled from Friday night into Saturday, according to FlightAware. Major New York–area airports warned of disruptions, while the National Weather Service cautioned about hazardous travel conditions, possible power outages and tree damage. States of emergency were declared for New Jersey and parts of New York.
