The Red Sox will come out to Arizona to play the Diamondbacks next year, I wonder if the D'Backs will have to go to New York or will the Yankees come out here?
They will be frequent fliers
Four West Coast journeys in 2007
By Gordon Edes, Globe Staff | July 27, 2006
It's all unofficial -- teams have been sent the draft of the schedule, but it still can be tweaked -- but the Red Sox are scheduled to make four trips to the West Coast next season, which is double the number they are making this season.
The Sox, who just finished a six-game trip to Seattle and Oakland, have a nine-game swing through Anaheim, Seattle, and Oakland Aug. 22-30.
The extra trips next season are a consequence of interleague play -- the Sox will be playing teams in the National League West and are scheduled to go to Arizona to play the Diamondbacks and Los Angeles to play the Dodgers, according to a league source with access to the schedule. The source was not certain if a trip to San Diego to play the Padres was also in the offing.
The Sox have yet to play a regular-season game in Arizona, and have not been to Dodger Stadium since 2002, when they were swept in a three-game series. They took two of three against the Padres in San Diego in 2002.
In 2004, the last time the Sox played NL West teams, they traveled to Colorado and San Francisco. The Rockies and Giants are scheduled for visits to Boston.
