Red Sox outfielder Carl Crawford is prepared to return to Tampa Bay for the first time since leaving the team as a free agent this past winter. Crawford isn't sure what to expect, either, but he said Sunday he was "looking forward to see how it turns out." The Red Sox will open a series against the Rays on Tuesday in Florida. The outfielder is hoping that fans at Tropicana Field will cheer for him rather than boo, especially since fans of the opposing teams often fill the stadium. "Well, that's what I'm hoping," Crawford said. "I have no ill will. There just wasn't any decision about whether to stay in Tampa or not ... no option at all. There's no way you could stay with a team if a contract isn't even offered to you. I hope (fans) will be smart enough to realize that."
