Ceddanne Rafaela didn’t have a particularly impactful All-Star Game performance. But he did get a chance to reconnect with one of his baseball heroes and mentors. Fellow Curacaoan/defensive genius Andruw Jones was also in Philadelphia, and the two met up and talked for well over an hour. “I like everything I see,” Jones said of […]
Just a month ago, the situation looked like this: the New York Yankees were in dire need of a closer, and Aroldis Chapman seemed like the perfect option with 14 saves and a 2.08 ERA. However, the Boston Red Sox reliever wasn’t even willing to consider the possibility without an apology from Brian Cashman. In […] The post Aroldis Chapman Opens Door for Yankees Return After Walking Back on Demand From GM Brian Cashman appeared first on EssentiallySports .

On July 28, 2024, the Dodgers beat Houston 6-2, improving their record to 63-44. Miguel Vargas didn’t play in that game and would never play for the Dodgers again. The next day, the Dodgers traded him to the White Sox, who lost in Kansas City, dropping to 27-82. The Dodgers went on to win the […]
The Boston Red Sox have won nine in a row and are one of the hottest teams in the MLB, but they still need to come to terms with one glaring reality.
Although Tuesday night’s All-Star Game was a boring bust in a lot of ways, there were still a handful of cool moments, and this one has to be a contender for the very best: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Detroit Tigers (@tigers) Hell yeah. This is great. Kevin McGonigle is a […] The post Very Cool to See Delco Native Kevin McGonigle Meeting his Childhood Hero Chase Utley appeared first on Crossing Broad .
With Willson Contreras having emerged to become the face of the franchise, it’s fun to look way back in the archives. Like, remember Triston Casas? Whatever happened to that guy? But seriously, when does Casas ever return to the Sox, even if he somehow miraculously stays healthy? Does he ever?
Things aren't going so well on the left side of the infield for these contenders.
Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Jahmai Fitzgerald Jones and he comes from suburban Atlanta, which seemingly produces more baseball talent than just about anywhere else in America right now (though the most notable alumn from his prep school is former Pats center David Andrews). Jones was a second round draft […]

When you have professional athletes mic’d up for a three-hour, live sporting event, the odds are high that a word or two will slip by that the television network hoped would not. During the 2021 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, for example, then-White Sox relief pitcher Liam Hendriks had an expletive-filled inning heard on the…
And why does that list include Bryce Harper?
Jettisoned from the roster in the first half, 27-year-old right-hander Brayan Bello might the Boston Red Sox’s most important arm in the second half. Through 13 MLB appearances this season, Bello has a 6.06 ERA and 0.0 fWAR across 65.1 innings. Though he saw lots of success as a bulk reliever, his numbers as starter […] The post Red Sox Pitching Success Hinges on Brayan Bello appeared first on Just Baseball .
The MLB All-Star Game is more than just a celebration of the best players in the game. It is also a time for players to relax and enjoy playing a game. This year, the All-Star game also celebrated 250 years of the United States. Players had patches on their jerseys, while others, such as Ben […] The post Red Sox mascot Wally celebrating USA 250 at All-Star Game in outfit Noah Kahan would love appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Boston Red Sox, for lack of a better term, have been pitching their dicks off. You know this is typed and not a live performance, right? Like, you could ask someone for a better term or at least think on it for a little while, Jake. Fine. I lied. It’s not because I lack […]
Nearly one month after saying the New York Yankees would owe him an apology before he would feel comfortable potentially pitching for them again, Aroldis Chapman has already moved on from that stance.
Minneapolis – The Minnesota Twins have been playing some of their best baseball all season since June 1. They took a 21-16 record into the All-Star break, which was the third best in the American League since then, only behind the Detroit Tigers (22-14) and Boston Red Sox (21-15). Much of that can be attributed to the Twins lineup, which led the American League in runs scored this year with 471.

The Boston Red Sox added some outfield depth during the All-Star break, acquiring outfielder Jahmai Jones from the Detroit Tigers . Detroit, which designated Jones for assignment last week, will receive a player to be named later in return. Boston had an open 40-man roster spot after designating left-hander Danny Coulombe for assignment a couple of days earlier, and optioned Nate Eaton to Triple-A to clear an active roster spot for Jones. Why Boston Took The Shot The appeal is what Jones...
The Boston Red Sox reached the 2026 Midsummer Classic with considerable momentum on their side and a bold endorsement from franchise icon David Ortiz, who expects the club to strengthen its roster ahead of the MLB trade deadline and make a deep run.

This would have been an easy story to write just two weeks ago. The Boston Red Sox were at the bottom of the American League East standings and looked as if they had no chance to finish the 2026 season with anything but regret. The Red Sox had some decent pitching, but the offense had […] The post Predicting Red Sox’s biggest move before MLB trade deadline appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Whatever it is about the All-Star Game that puts a chokehold on the National League should be studied. Once again, the American League prevailed, shutting out the NL in Philadelphia, 4-0. If you had the NL being held to three hits on your bingo card, then congrats, you win, because the bats were borderline silent, […]
Aroldis Chapman has not hidden his antipathy towards the New York Yankees organization in any way whatsoever. Chapman, after he and the Yankees had a falling out four years ago, said in the past that he would not don the Yankee pinstripes once more, not until someone from the organization sends out an apology to […] The post Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman’s attention-grabbing Yankees admission may open door for trade appeared first on ClutchPoints .
With the MLB season at the All-Star break, there is ample time to take stock of how amazing the Chicago White Sox have been. They are in a tight battle for first place in the American League Central Division with the Cleveland Guardians. A far cry from back-to-back last-place finishes.
