Where each Boston Sports team will be in the year 2030

For years, Boston was the best city in sports. Although the teams have not been performing well recently, I still believe that Boston is one of the best sports cities in North America. In this article, I will review four major sports teams in Boston and provide my predictions for their next five to six seasons.

Boston Bruins

With the Bruins three best players (David Pastrnak, Charlie McAvoy, and Jeremy Swayman) all being 27 and under the window for winning a Stanley Cup could be open for a while. Over the past couple of years, they have had countless opportunities to win it all but blew them in heartbreaking fashion. In order for this team to win a Stanley Cup, they will need to exorcise their playoff demons and perform at a higher level. There is some promising young talent on the team, including Mason Lohrei, who has shown flashes of becoming a great player. Fun fact: Lohrei is the first player in the NHL from the state of Louisiana. My prediction is that the Bruins win at least one Stanley Cup by the year 2030.

Boston Celtics

Since Jaylen Brown has entered the league in 2016 the Celtics have been to the Eastern Conference Finals five times, they have won those series’ just once. With a new core surrounding the duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, there is a new glimpse of hope for the Celtics to get over that championship hump. The team looks as dominant as ever has solidified themselves as at least the bes team in the conference if not the best team in the league. Brad Stevens has signed all of the key players except for Tatum (who is up for a Supermax in the offseason) to long-term contract extensions. With all of these core guys being around for a while there is no telling how far this team will go. My prediction is that the Celtics will win at least two championships but I would not be surprised if they won three of four.

Boston Red Sox

The Red Sox have finished last in the American League East for the last two years. A feat that is not acceptable for Boston fans. In the offseason the executives for the team proved that they are unwilling to spend money on this time and they just want to sell the Fenway entertainment experience. Although the team right now is not built for a World Series run, it could be in a couple of years. With Marcelo Mayer, Roman Anthony, and Kyle Teel all killing it in the minors, the Red Sox could have some really good teams in the future. Rafael Devers, Triston Casas, Brayan Bello, and Jarren Duran should all be mainstays on this Red Sox team for years to come and will be key if the Sox are to make more playoff runs in the future. They will still need to go out and sign quality starting pitching if they want to be championship contenders. My prediction is that the Sox do not win a championship by 2030, but I would not be surprised if they did. 

New England Patriots

The Patriots drafted the highest they’ve had since they drafted Drew Bledsoe with the first pick in the 1993 draft. Last year was the worst season for the Patriots in this century, and the lofty expectations set by Pats fans were not even close to being met. The only bright spot was the defense, which should be good for years and years to come. In the draft the Pats added players at key position needs, especially at Quaterback and Wide Receiver. Drake Maye, Ja’lynn Polk, and Javon Baker should be an exciting trio. Maye is an extremely raw prospect who has an extremely high ceiling. This young team has a lot of promise, but they still need to add a bonafide star on the offensive side of the ball for them to be a contender. My prediction is that the Patriots will not win a Super Bowl by 2030, but in the 2030s, they will for sure be a contender.
