| |  | BOSTON: BOSTON (AP) - Last season was one to remember for fans of the Red Sox - and one to forget for the players.
Soon after Boston's third World Series championship in 10 years, that bearded bunch decided to put it behind them and focus on what they must do to keep winning.
''It was a dream come true last year,'' pitcher Jake Peavy said. ''It's a new year. I think that's been a slogan of ours on the text messages that we've been exchanging with the guys, `Hey turn the page, it's a new year, it's 2014.' We haven't done anything and, obviously, some teams in our division got awfully better.''
The Red Sox won't be sneaking up on them, not after rebounding from a 69-93, last-place finish in the AL East to a 97-65 record, a 28-win improvement.
''You've got the bull's-eye on your back,'' second baseman Dustin Pedroia said. ''You want to get everybody's best, so I think it's going to be a fun challenge for everybody.''
John Farrell's disciplined, businesslike approach worked in his first year as Boston's manager. That, and the influx of players to improve the toxic clubhouse chemistry, made the one season under the animated Bobby Valentine seem like a distant memory.
Those players, including Jonny Gomes, Mike Napoli and Shane Victorino, return. The Red Sox lost center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury to the New York Yankees then signed Grady Sizemore as a possible replacement. Sizemore missed the last two seasons with knee and back injuries that required surgery but has had a healthy, productive spring training.
''In this group, no one's going to let anybody sit back and relax,'' Pedroia said. ''We're always going to push each other and make sure that we're respecting the game and playing the game the right way. If we do that, we should be all right.''
| | TORONTO: TORONTO (AP) - All winter long, the Blue Jays' primary concern was upgrading the starting pitching. The biggest story in Toronto this spring, though, is the one about the free agent arm that got away.
After months of inaction, the Blue Jays thought they'd landed right-hander Ervin Santana on a one-year deal in early March. But when injury concerns flared up in Atlanta, Santana signed a similar deal with the Braves instead.
''I think it's pretty obvious we were involved, it didn't work out. I'm trying to take the high road here,'' general manager Alex Anthopoulos said after Santana turned him down, saying he'd rather pitch in a spacious National League park than face AL East foes in Toronto's hitter-friendly dome.
Anthopoulos, who'd previously come ''extremely close'' to acquiring a starter through trade, must now start the season with almost the same staff he took north last year. Right-handed knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, the 2012 NL Cy Young winner, will be the opening-day starter again, while left-hander Mark Buehrle gets the third slot.
But none of the other three leading contenders, right-handers Brandon Morrow and Drew Hutchison, and left-hander J.A. Happ, have ever pitched 200 innings, and all three are coming off injuries. Morrow was limited to 10 starts last year by a nerve problem in his forearm, Hutchison hasn't pitched in the majors since elbow surgery in 2012, and Happ missed most of 2013 after being hit in the head by a line drive. Happ dimmed his own chances with an awful spring.
Santana, who has topped the 200-inning mark five times, would have given the Blue Jays valuable depth. Without him, there's more chance they'll need starts from touted but untested youngsters like Kyle Drabek, Sean Nolin, and Marcus Stroman.
Still, a confident Dickey insisted Santana would have been more ''bonus'' than ''necessity'' to Toronto. ''I feel like we have what we need,'' he said.

*Red Sox-Blue Jays Preview* ===========================
By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO STATS Writer
Boston (57-74) at Toronto (66-65), 7:07 p.m. EDT
The Boston Red Sox are at the bottom of the AL East and all but mathematically eliminated from postseason contention.
The Toronto Blue Jays' tailspin is severely denting their playoff hopes.
Dustin Pedroia and Yoenis Cespedes look to continue pounding the Blue Jays and help the Red Sox sweep this three-game series Wednesday night.
Boston (58-74) snapped an eight-game slide with a 4-3 win over Toronto in 10 innings Monday and followed that by scoring seven runs in the 11th en route to an 11-7 win a day later.
Despite those victories, the Red Sox are well out of the postseason chase and the Blue Jays (66-66) are getting closer to joining them after losing 16 of 22 this month.
Toronto is 6 1/2 games behind Seattle for the AL's second wild-card spot and is .500 for the first time since May 15. The Blue Jays have played four straight extra-inning games, losing three.
"It's tough," reliever Casey Janssen said. "We lost another tough game in extra innings."
Pedroia is 7 for 18 (.389) with seven RBIs in the past four games with Toronto. He has three hits in this series, hitting two homers and driving in six runs, including a season high-matching four Tuesday.
Cespedes is 10 for 22 (.455) with seven RBIs in five overall games. He's 5 for 11 with two RBIs in this series.
Boston has five homers in two games, two more than its total over the prior eight.
The Red Sox will try to continue their improved offense against Marcus Stroman (7-5, 4.11 ERA), who allowed one run over 14 innings in back-to-back wins over them July 24 and 29.
That was part of the rookie right-hander's three-game winning streak during which he yielded one run in 21 innings. However, he's 0-3 with an 8.66 ERA in four starts since and his latest didn't inspire much hope.
Stroman was tagged for six runs and a season-high 10 hits with three walks in five innings of Friday's 8-0 loss to Tampa Bay.
"It's extremely frustrating," Stroman said.
The Red Sox are countering with Joe Kelly (0-1, 4.09), who gets a fifth chance at his first win since being acquired in a trade with St. Louis on July 31.
The right-hander's last outing Friday was cut short due to a shoulder ailment after he tossed five scoreless innings. Koji Uehara surrendered five runs in the ninth in a 5-3 loss to Seattle.
"After a battery of tests that he went through after the game that didn't reproduce any of the symptoms, it was followed up with him feeling well and he's on target to start," manager John Farrell told MLB's official website.
Kelly has held Jose Reyes hitless in five at-bats, but hasn't faced him since 2012. The Blue Jays' shortstop enters this matchup with a .353 average in 14 games and he's 9 for 24 (.375) in his last five at home against Boston.
