You can read Purple Row’s coverage of the disintegrating search for a […]
Happy Tuesday, Red Sox Nation! To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Alex Bregman officially opted out of his deal on Monday. The Red Sox will have to compete with 29 other teams for his services, although several of those teams probably won’t be seriously interested because they’re cheap and waiting for a hypothetical future salary […]
David Baggs was thrilled to work for his hometown team in Red Sox ticket sales. He was eventually inspired by Billy Bean to come out in MLB. The post David Baggs forges his own path as openly gay Red Sox exec appeared first on Outsports .

According to multiple reports, the Mets are circling Justin Willard as their new pitching coach. Willard, 35, who was most recently the director of pitching for the Red Sox last two seasons, also coached and coordinated for the Twins from 2017-2023.

2025 In A Discarded-On-The-Dugout-Floor Nutshell He looked calm, cool, and collected at the Major Leagues level— but he still needs to find a way to stay on the field. The Good I don’t know if this was the supposed Alex Bregman influence or if this is just how Marcelo Mayer is as a player in […]
Embrace it, folks, even if the Sox aren’t playing. This is what it’s all about — all those daydreams, imaginary at-bats, all of it.
Wilyer Abreu churned out another 3 bWAR season in Boston. He might on the trading block. He might win another Gold Glove. He gets big hits. The Good Gold Glove defense. Abreu won the AL right field Gold Glove in 2024 and is a finalist for 2025. Back-to-back Gold Gloves isn’t nothing. It’s in fact […]

2025 In A Discarded-On-The-Dugout-Floor Nutshell After spending over a year with a giant up-arrow attached to him, Kristian Campbell encountered numerous challenges at the big league level. A second-half surge in the minor leagues should provide continued hope for his future in Boston. The Good For starters, Campbell made the team out of camp, which […]
2025 In A Discarded-On-The-Dugout-Floor Nutshell In a season that started with infield candidates ranging from Alex Bregman, Trevor Story, Kristian Campbell, Triston Casas, Rafael Devers, and Marcelo Mayer, David Hamilton managed to make it into 91 games. That’s way too many! His large presence in box scores is the byproduct of a tumultuous year in […]
Seven years ago today, the Red Sox’ last World Series championship parade rolled through a Halloween riot of baseball fans. When will the next parade down Boylston be? We’ll have to wait at least a year. But either Dodgers or Blue Jays fans will be luckier than that. Will the Jays drop the curtain on […]
It’s still tough to truly wrap your head around the season that Tyler Stephenson just had for the Cincinnati Reds, as a dive into the numbers sends you the four corners of the planet. His strikeout rate spiked over 11% to a career worst 33.9%, just one year removed from it being a career best […]

Every year as a new season dawns, I do my best to come up with spur of the moment, lightly researched predictions for the upcoming season. I am not living completely under a rock, however, so these do tend to be hunches that accumulate over months of casual offseason observance of happenings around the league, […]
2025 In A Discarded-On-The-Dugout-Floor Nutshell After a fantastic and endearing start to his career as starting first baseman of the Red Sox, Triston Casas struggled both offensively and defensively before rupturing his patella a month into the season, and is now a question mark going forward.

Did he generate enough value to stay or enough value to be a part of a big trade package? The Good Jarren Duran continues to be an absolute speed demon and make teams pay for it. Not only was […]
About four weeks ago, shortly after the Red Sox were eliminated, I wrote that I was rooting for the Blue Jays to win the World Series in one our Over The Monster group posts. There are several reasons for this, but one of which is I want another big spending team in the division not […]
There’s a reason why it’s so rare that teams win back-to-back World Series. It’s Not Easy! The New York Yankees were the last team to pull off a repeat (actually their most recent was a three-peat) in 1998-2000. The last National League team to do it was the Big Red Machine in 1975-76. Diehard A’s […]
In addition to left-hander Eduardo Rivera, the Red Sox have re-signed right-hander Reidis Sena to a minor-league contract, according to MassLive.com’s Chris Cotillo.

Ex-Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov knows what it feels like to arrive with expectation, a reputation, and an immediate demand to deliver. He’s been there twice, in fact. First at Tottenham Hotspur, where he took time to adapt to English football’s pace and intensity, and later at Manchester United, where his languid brilliance sometimes disguised […] The post Dimitar Berbatov shares “world class” advice for Florian Wirtz amid critics for Liverpool star appeared first on Paisley Ga...
2025 In A Discarded-On-The-Dugout-Floor Nutshell I’m not going to put his season in a discarded nutshell, because that’s what his season was itself.
