Latest news and updates about the Red Sox
Let me preface this by saying there’s still a little bit of offseason left. The Red Sox could turn around at any moment, make a stunning trade for a big stick, and instantly shift the narrative. But for now, the offseason is beginning to solidify, and it doesn’t look good for anybody hoping the front […]
Good morning! The Red Sox have a new infielder. And, uh, he’s not exactly one to get all that excited about. Isiah Kiner-Falefa is a perfectly good backup to have on your team. He plays three positions in the infield and plays them all well — possibly better than anyone else currently on the Red […]
Last week, Red Sox fans Damon Campagna, Lily Rose Smith and Patrick Spaulding filed a class-action lawsuit against the team in U.S. District Court, alleging that it charged illegal junk fees from at least 2022 through 2024 and used “drip pricing” to inflate the stated costs for tickets. I believe them. To be clear, I […]
Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Isiah Kiner-Falefa. The former Ranger also spent time with the Yankees before signing a 2-year, $15 million deal with the Blue Jays in 2024, who then traded him to the Pirates at that year’s trade deadline, only to take him back a year later after […]
Carlos Jorge finally saw his name on the board as the #15 prospect in this year’s Community Prospect Rankings. Suddenly I don’t know what to do with myself since I’ve been voting for him since he first joined the ballot, but I suppose I’ll begin figuring out that process right now. Per usual, you can […]
The San Francisco Giants have announced their non-roster invitees to this year’s Spring Training in Arizona and there’s just one surprise addition: veteran righty reliever Michael Fulmer. He had missed all of 2024 following Tommy John surgery and last season for the Red Sox and Cubs he threw a combined 5.2 innings. Previously, he’d thrown […]
If the Red Sox really are exploring adding a right-handed outfield bat, who would that be? Here’s a list of unsigned free agent outfielders who hit from the right side of the plate: By the way, that list is ordered by 2025 fWAR, and the only players who posted more than 0.0 wins last year […]
Yesterday, I wrote that I’m starting to accept the increasingly likely possibility that the Red Sox are not going to add an infielder before opening day, leaving second base to be covered by a platoon of Romy Gonzalez and David Hamilton. It seems to me to be a clear case of roster mismanagement to enter […]
The 2023 season saw a 19 year old Carlos Jorge show pop, patience, and speed in the otherwise extremely pitching-friendly environment of the Florida State League, slashing .295/.400/.483 with 9 HR and 31 SB in just 86 games with Daytona. Since then, he’s had his share of struggles. He followed up finishing the 2023 season […]
In the early days of the off-season, the Mets signed Joe Jacques to a minor league deal. The left-handed side-armer has had a couple cups of coffee with the Red Sox and the Diamondbacks, but did not pitch in the majors in 2025. This is clearly a depth signing for the Mets, as there’s not […]
Good morning! Yet another infield option is off the board, as the Seattle Mariners acquired All-Star Brendan Donavan in a trade with the St. Louis Cardinals yesterday. Perhaps you’re still holding out hope for an Isaac Paredes deal, but it’s looking increasingly likely that the Red Sox will head into Opening Day with Marcelo Mayer […]
It’s been three months since any action took place on the baseball field, and we’re still one month away from meaningful baseball (the world classic variety) kicking off. If you’re like me, you’ve had enough of the contract talk, trade speculation, and the word “control” and want to get back to the on-field action. I […]
The news keeps checking in on the checking in and so we continue to await with bated breath while the machinery spins. The Giants no longer need a second baseman and so the Red Sox are the only destination to hang speculation on. Smart money says Nico Hoerner and Matt Shaw stay put but there’s […]
CBS Sports | R.J. Anderson: The Yankees are one of several teams interested in Ty France, per MassLive.com’s Chris Cotillo. The Red Sox, Mets, Padres, and Diamondbacks are among the first baseman’s other suitors. France slashed .257/.320/.360 last year in 138 games with the Twins and Blue Jays. This report comes on the heels of […]
Earlier on Monday, we got word that the Atlanta Braves were one of three teams (alongside the Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Angels) that didn’t decide to follow the Brewers, Cardinals, Rays, Reds and Royals to MLB Media as far as their televised games are concerned. Well, now we know why the Braves didn’t join […]
The Braves are still looking for a television broadcast partner after moving on from Main Street Sports Group (aka the company that runs Fanduel Sports Network). However, six of other eight teams are not looking anymore for this season. The Brewers, Marlins, Rays, Royals, Cardinals, and the Reds are moving on over to MLB Media. […]
Errors and strikeouts. If you’re a Red Sox fan you’re probably sick of seeing both of those things. The 2025 Red Sox led all of baseball in errors last year, after committing the second-most errors in 2024 and the fourth-most in 2023. The strikeout numbers don’t look much better, as Red Sox hitters finished with […]
The Red Sox swung a creative, financially motivated trade with the White Sox on Sunday that netted them salary relief, roster flexibility, and a new pitching prospect. In exchange for right-handers Jordan Hicks and David Sandlin, along with $8 million in cash considerations and two players to be named later, Boston acquired minor league righty … Continue reading "Which prospect did Red Sox acquire from White Sox for Jordan Hicks, David Sandlin?"
Day 2 of SoxFest Live felt very familiar, with many of the same key talking points put out by GM Chris Getz and manager Will Venable the night before. However, the atmosphere did seem a bit different. While Friday night set the tone for a more intimate gathering, Saturday’s sold-out crowd made it feel more […]
Despite a busy weekend hosting a fan convention Sox Fest Live at the Ramova Theatre on the South Side, Chicago White Sox GM Chris Getz was still making moves behind the scenes. Between interacting with fans and answering questions during a town hall, Getz was brewing up a trade with the Boston Red Sox to […]
When the Boston Red Sox today traded reliever Jordan Hicks and most of his contract to the Chicago White Sox, I wondered if it was a precursor to third baseman Eugenio Suarez finally signing. He’s not the defensive upgrade the Red Sox have reportedly been looking for, but it might be a beggars and choosers situation for them at this point, if they don’t want to pay an outrageous trade price to some other team. Well, the trade did indeed immediately precede a Suarez signing, but not with t...
Pitchers Jordan Hicks and David Sandlin are swapping the color of their footwear. ESPN’s Jeff Passan has reported that the Red Sox are shipping the pair of righties to the Chicago White Sox. In return, Boston will be getting another young pitching prospect: right-hander Gage Ziehl, a product of the University of Miami (the Florida […]
I like Kristian Campbell and want him to succeed. But I am totally convinced that, if he does, it won’t be at second base. Is it harsh to say that he was arguably the worst defensive middle infielder I’d ever seen last season? Maybe I’m still haunted by the routine double play that he flubbed […]
Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Jake Bennett, the former Oklahoma Sooner and 2022 second-round draft pick who the Red Sox acquired for Luis Perales earlier in the offseason. This is curious because Perales had just returned from a 2024 UCL tear and still is just 22 years old, but the […]
Red Sox prospect Miguel Bleis is coming off a season in which he was named the organization’s Minor League Baserunner of the Year. This article will examine how the speedy outfielder fared on the 2025 campaign as a whole. Due to a quad injury suffered late in spring training, Bleis did not make his season … Continue reading "How did speedy Red Sox OF prospect Miguel Bleis fare in 2025?"
