Latest news and updates about the Red Sox
The Athletics faced off against the Cincinnati Reds this afternoon at Goodyear Ballpark in Goodyear, Arizona. The A’s came into this game fresh off a split squad sweep of the Angels and Dodgers yesterday. Jack Perkins took the mound to get the A’s started today. So far this spring he’s 1-2 in two starts with […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Red Sox: Let’s talk about it (or the WBC stuff)
Is it on TV? No! It is not! And you better get used to that, because NESN isn’t showing the game tomorrow or Friday this week either and the Sox are off on Wednesday. I will never in my life understand this. Even if it’s “too expensive” to do a full broadcast, why not just […]
The 2026 World Baseball Classic is well underway. Early mornings, extra innings, slaughter rules, ludicrous dingers from Kyle Schwarber, and walkoffs—so far, this tourney has had it all. With pool play set to wrap up in a few days, I thought now would be a good time to take stock into how the Red Sox’s […]
The January silly season has come and gone and one of the more worrying deals that came to life during the transfer window as the potential for veteran left back and vice captain Andrew Robertson to leave Liverpool for Tottenham Hotspur. Thankfully the move ended up falling through before getting settled and the window’s closing, […]
Today’s spring training matchup pits the Brewers against the Seattle Mariners, who finished one win shy of the World Series last season. On the mound for Milwaukee tonight is lefty Kyle Harrison, acquired from the Red Sox this offseason in exchange for a package headlined by infielder Caleb Durbin. As I wrote about a few […]
For Cincinnati Reds left-hander Andrew Abbott, there couldn’t have been much better news on Sunday. Manager Terry Francona informed the 2025 National League All Star that he would get the ball come Opening Day, an honor that will sear him into the history books for all those in Reds Country. The Reds announced the move […]
Barcelona jetted out to Newcastle today ahead of the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie against Eddie Howe’s side at St James’ Park on Tuesday night. Hansi Flick’s side will be aiming to book their place in the quarter-finals of the competition as Barca seek to lift the European Cup for the […]

Is it on TV? Yes, first pitch is at 1:05 PM on NESN. What’s the lineup? What should we watch for? Honestly, this is yet another tough lineup. If you’re a fan of under-the-radar pitching prospects with intriguing stuff, then you’ll like watching Jake Bennett. And it’s increasingly looking like Andruw Monasterio is going to […]
I’m not going to pretend I’m a doctor. I’m not to going to act like I know more about Romy Gonzalez’s body than the highly paid and likely excellent medical staff working in Fort Myers and on Ipswitch Street. I’m not here to second guess medical advice — I’m sure there was a very solid […]
A legendary legacy. First pitch against the Boston Red Sox is at 1:05 at JetBlue Park and the Rays will be providing TV and radio coverage.
Is it on TV? Yes, after a one-day break from spring training coverage, the Sox are back on the air. You can catch the game on either NESN360 or over the air on WHDH, first pitch at 1:05 PM. What’s the lineup? What should we watch for? It’s Johan Oviedo’s third start, which means we […]
At this point in spring training, the starting second baseman remains a mystery, but Red Sox fans should be ready to go along for the ride. Bring an open mind and a hopefulness that comes from knowing that the Sox seem poised to get better contributions from the keystone position than they have been in […]
Red Sox pitching prospect Isaac Stebens underwent Tommy John surgery last week, according to SoxProspects.com’s Andrew Parker. As a result, he will miss the entire 2026 season and possibly the start of 2027 as well. Stebens is not ranked among Boston’s top 60 prospects by SoxProspects.com. The 24-year-old right-hander was originally selected by the Red … Continue reading "Red Sox pitching prospect Isaac Stebens undergoes Tommy John surgery"

Do you know the last time the Red Sox finished a season without a single player hitting at least 20 home runs? If we’re not counting 2020 — which we shouldn’t, pretty much ever, for pretty much anything — then the answer is a loooooong time ago: 1945, to be exact. But, frankly, we shouldn’t […]
During 2025 spring training, pitching coach Jeremy Hefner has said some positive things about New Jersey native Justin Hagenman. Hefner was impressed with some additional velocity that his pitches had and his ability to command them, but he ultimately did not make the big league club. The right-hander began the 2025 season in Triple-A Syracuse […]
Spring training can often bring us some strange sights as players that have been with one or two franchises long-term suddenly pop up in new uniforms. Seeing stars change teams at their peak and don their new threads is one thing, but the guys who have been through most of their careers before popping up […]
Between 1986 and 2006 15 different Red Sox players made at least 50 appearances at second base in one season: Marty Barrett, Jody Reed, Scott Fletcher, Luis Alicea, Jeff Frye, John Valentin, Donnie Sadler, Mike Benjamin,José Offerman, Lou Merloni, Rey Sánchez, Todd Walker, Mark Bellhorn, Tony Graffanino, and Mark Loretta. Barrett would also cross the […]
Is it on TV? It sure is. First pitch is at 1:05 PM on MLB Network. What’s the lineup? What should we watch for? Yikes. As fun as it’s been watching Braiden Ward small-ball his way around the bases this spring, today’s lineup is absolutely brutal. And we don’t even have any fun WBC exhibitions […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Red Sox: Let’s talk about it.
The Cincinnati Reds will open their 2026 season on March 26th in Great American Ball Park with the Boston Red Sox in town. Cincinnati’s Cactus League slate at their home in Goodyear, Arizona will begin this Saturday, February 21st, with the Cleveland Guardians both their home complex compatriots and opponents for the day. With competitive […]
Last year was a true breakthrough season for Cole Henry. After years of battling major injuries, including Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, the former second round pick made the big leagues as a reliever. Despite the solid season, Henry has seemingly overhauled his pitch mix entering year 2. I think his cutter will prove to be a […]
Much of the Red Sox’s offense has been in flux over the last 12 months: Rafael Devers was traded, Alex Bregman walked, Wilson Contreras and Caleb Durbin were acquired, while the infield platoon was refreshed. The combination of moves sounds awful for offensive pop, it but does offer more stability defensively. Meanwhile, he team decided […]
