Latest news and updates about the Red Sox
Noah Davis had a rough start and rough finish to his tenure in the majors with the Dodgers. Acquired for cash considerations from the Boston Red Sox on March 27 — the date of the home opener for the Dodgers, and opening day for 28 MLB teams — Davis gave the Dodgers another relief pitcher […]
You had your fill of turkey, overate on the yams, and somehow made it through seeing your least favorite relatives alive. Which is to say you didn’t want to see them alive, but there they were. Now it’s time for the Hot Stove to heat up, as a few cast-off depth relievers aren’t cleansing the […]
We heard rumors about this a few weeks ago but now it’s official: the Red Sox will send Kristian Campbell to the Caribbean for a little bit of winter ball this offseason. No word yet on where he’ll play, though the safe bet is that he’ll be in Puerto Rico with the Caguas Criollos, a […]
Welcome back to the 2025-26 edition of Smash or Pass, in which we examine potential free agent and trade targets to determine whether the Red Sox should pursue them and what it would take to land them. Today we look at someone who could fill a hole in the 2026 infield. Who is he and where […]
Thanksgiving is in the rear-view mirror, and that launches us firmly into the Hot Stove season across Major League Baseball with the Winter Meetings set to take place December 7th through 10th down in Orlando, Florida. It’s a time of little concrete activity, but the next week and a half will feature teams doing their […]
Whether or not you’re personally observing a Black Friday boycott this year, Craig Breslow has some shopping to do. We’ve already seen him wheeling and dealing, trying to make the moves we need to get past the first round of the 2026 postseason. Thanksgiving was late this year, so that means the holiday shopping season […]
Baseball is kind of bizarre, if you try to explain it to someone who doesn’t follow it. There’s literally the concept of moving current assets for presumed future assets, in a sport that is about trying to win individual contests with a combination of talent, execution, strategy, and tactics. I dunno, it’s weird. Well, in […]
The Hot Stove is heating up, and the St. Louis Cardinals have already been plenty active as the calendar prepares to flip to December. Sonny Gray has already been traded to Boston, and more deals are on the horizon as the new President of Baseball Operations, Chaim Bloom, continues to re-imagine this roster and replenish […]
Happy Thanksgiving, now let’s get a win.
Welcome back to the 2025-26 edition of Smash or Pass, in which we examine potential free agent and trade targets to determine whether the Red Sox should pursue them and what it would take to land them. Today we look at a fading star who has been linked to the Sox this offseason. Who is he […]
For a pair of teams who share the same division and have represented the American League in the World Series a combined eight times over the last 40 years, the relationship between the Blue Jays and Red Sox has been remarkably tame. There’s no signature clash, no recent season where one stood in the doorway […]
From everybody at Over The Monster, we’d like to wish you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving! May it be a day filled with family, friends, and food, and at least a little bit of a debate around the table regarding where Sonny Gray slots into the Sox rotation next year. Use this thread to […]
I’m thankful for David Ortiz and DAAAAAA Yankees lose! which became a viral sensation this year, expanding from just a Red Sox thing. — Mike Carlucci I’m thankful that Major League Baseball is in a great place, trending up from one of the best World Series of this century, complete with a normal offseason where […]
It became pretty clear prior towards the end of the 2024 season that the St. Louis Cardinals were destined to begin a pretty epic rebuild. Bloated contracts for aging stars that simply weren’t good enough to drag them to contender status led longtime GM slash president of baseball operations John Mozeliak to announce in September […]
Vitor Roque is prolific for Palmeiras and is likely to play in the FIFA World Cup, but has been punished for posting homophobic content. The post Brazil striker tells millions of fans to stop using gay slurs, after being fined himself appeared first on Outsports .
MacKenzie Gore was one of the starting pitchers most mentioned in trade rumors last July. In the end, just as was the case for every big-name starting pitcher, he wasn’t traded, largely because it was perceived that the Nationals were asking for more in return than teams were willing to give. Gore had good numbers […]
Alex Call began the season with the Washington Nationals before being acquired by the Dodgers at the trade deadline. He served as quality platoon bat against left-handed pitching and hit well over a small sample size in the postseason. Call was coming off a 2024 season where he appeared in just 30 games for Washington, […]

It happens every couple of years. It’s like the Olympics, but it involves baseball. Although the Olympics sometimes have baseball. So disregard that. The point is, the World Baseball Classic is coming. And some Phillies will be playing in it. Phillies featured prominently on the 2023 runner-up edition of Team USA, with Kyle Schwarber, Trea […]

Good morning, baseball fans! Not only is it Wednesday, but it’s the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, which means that many of you are likely going to be hard at work preparing for tomorrow’s festivities, traveling to partake in festivities elsewhere, or bored at a relative’s house (or at work) and looking for something to do.

Good morning. The Cold Stove League is thawing.
The Red Sox have a new top of the rotation arm in Sonny Gray, who has put up a career ERA+ of 117 in 13 seasons. But it hasn’t always been pretty. The nadir of his career came in 2018, when Gray fell flat on his face in his lone full season with the Yankees. […]
