The 2020 Boston Red Sox season will be the 120th season in the team's history, and their 109th season at Fenway Park.

Offseason

The team completed its 2019 season with interim executive leadership, as Brian O'Halloran, Eddie Romero, Zack Scott, and Raquel Ferreira oversaw baseball operations following the September 9 dismissal of Dave Dombrowski, president of baseball operations.^[1] As the season came to a close, principal owner John W. Henry and chairman Tom Werner stated that they want the team to get its payroll under the Major League Baseball luxury tax threshold.^[2] The team's 2019 payroll of $243 million was $37 million over the $206 million threshold, resulting in the team paying $13 million in luxury tax.^[2] The 2020 threshold will be $208 million.^[2]

October 2019

On October 2, it was reported that assistant hitting coach Andy Barkett was dismissed,^[3] which was confirmed by the team on October 8.^[4]
On October 8, the team announced that ticket prices at Fenway Park during the 2020 season would increase an average of 1.7% from 2019 pricing.^[5]
On October 8, the team announced that Dana LeVangie and Brian Bannister would not return as the team's pitching coach and assistant pitching coach, respectively, although both would remain with the team in other roles.^[4]
On October 18, the team released pitcher Steven Wright,^[6] and removed Gorkys Hernández and Josh Smith from the 40-man roster, sending both outright to Pawtucket.^[7]
On October 21, Hernández, Smith, and Chris Owings elected free agency rather than accepting assignments to Triple-A Pawtucket.^[8]
On October 21, Peter Fatse was reportedly hired as the team's assistant hitting coach,^[9] which was officially announced on October 31.^[10]
On October 24, analyst Bill James announced his retirement from the Red Sox.^[11]
On October 25, the team reportedly selected Chaim Bloom as Chief Baseball Officer and Brian O'Halloran as general manager;^[12]^[13] an official announcement was made three days later, on an off-day of the 2019 World Series.^[14]
On October 31, the following players became free agents: Andrew Cashner, Jhoulys Chacín, Brock Holt, Mitch Moreland, Steve Pearce, and Rick Porcello.^[15] The team also selected Josh Osich off waivers from the Chicago White Sox.^[15]
On October 31, the team officially named Dave Bush pitching coach, Kevin Walker assistant pitching coach, and Peter Fatse assistant hitting coach.^[10]
On October 31, J. D. Martinez entered a five-day period within which he could opt out of his contract (which would make him a free agent and trigger a $2.5 million payment from the Red Sox);^[16] Martinez did not opt out.^[17]

November 2019

On November 4, catcher Juan Centeno was removed from the 40-man roster and elected to become a free agent.^[18]^[19]
On November 12, Tony La Russa, who had worked with the Red Sox for two years as a special assistant, was hired by the Los Angeles Angels as a senior advisor.^[20]
On November 20, in advance of the Rule 5 draft, the Red Sox added five players to their 40-man roster: Yoan Aybar, C. J. Chatham, Bobby Dalbec, Kyle Hart, and Marcus Wilson.^[21]
On November 27, Brian Johnson was removed from the 40-man roster and sent outright to Pawtucket.^[22]

December 2019

On December 2, Sandy León was traded to the Cleveland Indians for minor league pitcher Adenys Bautista, Trevor Kelley was claimed off of waivers by the Philadelphia Phillies,^[23] and the team declined to tender offers to Marco Hernández and Josh Osich, making them free agents.^[24]
On December 4, Hernández and Osich were re-signed to one-year contracts.^[25]
On December 4, former assistant pitching coach Brian Bannister left the Red Sox for a front-office position with the San Francisco Giants.^[26]
On December 9, the team announced contract extensions for executives Raquel Ferreira, Eddie Romero, and Zack Scott, under which they each hold the title of Executive Vice President / Assistant General Manager.^[27]
On December 10, sportswriter Nick Cafardo of The Boston Globe, who died while reporting on spring training in February 2019, was named the 2020 recipient of the J. G. Taylor Spink Award by the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA).^[28]
On December 12, the team selected shortstop Jonathan Arauz from the Houston Astros in the Rule 5 draft.^[29] Additionally, pitcher Rick Porcello was reported to have reached agreement with the New York Mets on a one-year contract,^[30] and the Red Sox were reported to have reached one-year agreements with infielder José Peraza, formerly of the Cincinnati Reds,^[31] and pitcher Martín Pérez, formerly of the Minnesota Twins^[32]—each signing to be officially confirmed.
On December 13, Peraza officially signed with the team.^[23]
