In late November, the Red Sox made their first of two significant offseason trades with the Cardinals, acquiring veteran starter Sonny Gray and cash considerations for right-hander Richard Fitts, left-handed pitching prospect Brandon Clarke, and a player to be named later or cash considerations. On Monday, Boston completed the deal by sending minor league righty … Continue reading "Who did Red Sox send to Cardinals to complete Sonny Gray trade?"
The Brewers are headed east to begin the week and wrap up the road trip, as they’ll face their fourth consecutive interleague opponent in the Boston Red Sox. Boston has had a rough go of it early, as they’re sitting at just 2-7 this season, putting them at the bottom of a deep AL East. […]
Oh, what a difference a day makes. Before yesterday’s game it felt like the San Diego Padres were on the brink of collapse. Heading into their first rubber match of the season against the Boston Red Sox, there wasn’t a whole lot of hope they could deliver after losing the first two series of the […]
Ok. The Red Sox are now 2-7 on the season after three series. They were meh against the Reds. Then bad against the Astros. And actually played the Padres pretty hard, more or less, but came away 1-2. The absence of Garrett Whitlock — who, to be clear, 100% should be allowed the time off […]
Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Tyler Uberstine, and if you’ve been furrowing your brow at Greg Weissert coming in and letting another inherited runner score, he’s a guy you might want to get to know. Uberstine, from Santa Monica, California, was selected by the Red Sox in the 19th round […]
The Houston Astros announced that Cody Bolton will make the start for them tonight against the Colorado Rockies in Denver. The 28-year old journeyman made his first appearance for the Astros on March 31, picking up a 3 inning save against the Boston Red Sox. It was Bolton’s first career save. Now he will get […]
Due to Easter, Worcester and Portland were the only two clubs to play baseball on Sunday, and the former had a double-header to play that ended up being quite the long afternoon due to some extra baseball. The result was satisfying, though. Let’s get into it. Worcester, Game 1: W, 4-2 (F/7) (BOX SCORE) With […]
It would have been understandable if the Friar Faithful were not expecting the San Diego Padres to mount a comeback in the final game of the series against the Boston Red Sox after falling behind 4-0 in the third inning. San Diego starter Walker Buehler worked through the first two innings without much trouble, but […]
There was no sweep to be found for the Yankees on Sunday; just lots of rain and stranded runners, plus a bad eighth from the bullpen that doomed them. The Marlins salvaged the series finale, so the Yankees must content themselves on this offday with a 7-2 record to start the year that still has […]
This isn’t a cop-out blog. I truly feel this way. I could sit here and give you fancy-dancy analysis, couldn’t I? I have done that before and I will do so again. I don’t think a 2-7 Red Sox start calls for that type of article, though. I’ve also done this crashout before. Dan Secatore, […]
Yes hello his good to see you happy Monday yadayadayada who cares the Red Sox need to wake the fuck up. The season is far, far, far from over……..but 2-7 cannot be ignored. So, with a good club coming into play starting tonight, let me ask the OTM readers: Is today a must-win for the […]
The Milwaukee Brewers, coming off their third consecutive series win to begin the season and now sitting at 7-2 on the year, are headed to Boston to take on the Red Sox this week. The Brewers and Red Sox are probably most tied together at this point thanks to a pair of trades in the […]
By golly, they actually did it! For the first time since 2004, the White Sox have swept their home opening series, by virtue of a 3-0 win over the Blue Jays. It what might have been Chicago’s cleanest game of the season so far—no errors, no baserunning mishaps, and most importantly, not a single blemish […]
It’s important to remember that baseball is a marathon, not a sprint. As a one-time marathon runner (no big deal), starting out too fast is a real concern. Just ask one-time marathon runner Jacob Roy, who went out too fast and ran the final six miles at about 10 minutes per mile after running the […]
Ok, so the winning streak thing didn’t work out yesterday. So today let’s just hope that Ranger Suárez can figure it out on the mound. First pitch at 1:35 PM on NESN.

Yesterday’s game saw this San Diego Padres club do something it hasn’t shown yet this season: fight. After having a 2-1 lead over the Boston Red Sox for most of the game (in large part due to Randy Vásquez’s sheer force of will), Adrian Morejon came in to pitch the eighth inning. He had hoped […]
The Red Sox have taken some flak for their rocky start in this young season, and I’m about to pile on. It’s about the pelvic thrust hit celebration. I’ll say up front that I don’t care about being “family friendly” or anything like that. Here are my issues with it. It’s not okay with female […]
Good morning, folks… The Texas Rangers fell to the Cincinnati Reds yesterday by a score of 2-0. Kumar Rocker impressed in his season debut. Jeff Wilson writes that Kumar Rocker took a step forward and the offense took a step back. Skip Schumaker says that Evan Carter will keep getting chances against lefthanded pitchers. Jake […]
Better late than never – that is what they say. For the San Diego Padres, that statement rang true when Fernando Tatis Jr., who had four strikeouts in the game, lined a two-out double to center field in the top of the ninth inning off Boston Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman. Ramon Laureano, who had […]
Three days after getting 2024 Rule 5 Draft pick Angel Bastardo back from the Blue Jays, the Red Sox got 2025 Rule 5 Draft pick Jedixson Paez back from the White Sox on Saturday. Unlike Bastardo with the Blue Jays, Paez made the White Sox’ Opening Day roster out of spring training last month despite … Continue reading "Red Sox get Rule 5 pick Jedixson Paez back from White Sox"
For the eighth game in a row to kick off the 2026 MLB season, the Boston Red Sox failed to score more than five runs. They are the only team in baseball that has yet to do so this season. Get used to this. The lineup isn’t going to be this anemic all season long […]
San Diego Padres star right-fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. struggled at the plate with four strikeouts in his first four appearances against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, Saturday. In the top of the ninth, with two outs, he finally put a ball in play off Boston closer Aroldis Chapman. Tatis Jr. hit a line […]
Nathaniel Lowe posted a 122 OPS+ in nearly 2600 PA for the Texas Rangers across four full seasons after coming over from the Tampa Bay Rays. In that time he was valued at 11.5 bWAR, won a Gold Glove, a World Series, and a Silver Slugger Award – the latter coming during a remarkable 2022 […]
