Latest news and updates about the Red Sox
Earlier this week, we published our latest SB Nation Reacts survey, brought to you by the folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook, and we asked Detroit Lions fans to pick the winner of Super Bowl LX. The results of that survey are in, and the fans left little doubt who they believe will come home with the Lombardi […]

Looking back at the 2015 season, you can’t help but think of what was probably the greatest Cy Young battle in the modern era, as Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke, and Jake Arrieta delivered a memorable three-way race, with the award going to the Cubs’ ace. Greinke and Kershaw were the heart and soul of that […]

The sixth iteration of the World Baseball Classic will begin soon, continuing one HELL of a sports stretch over the next few weeks. I mean, we’ve got the Olympics, Super Bowl, and Grapefruit League action–the holy trinity, if you ask me–coming right up. WBC rosters were released Thursday night, exactly a month before the action […]

Though his performance may have been overshadowed by the likes of fellow 2024 international signees Justin Gonzales and Enddy Azocar, Red Sox outfield prospect Anderson Fermin undoubtedly impressed in his stateside debut last year. Signed for $400,000 out of the Dominican Republic in January 2024, Fermin earned Dominican Summer League All-Star honors in his first … Continue reading "How did switch-hitting Red Sox OF prospect Anderson Fermin fare in 2025?"

The long and winding road of the Ben Rortvedt offseason boomerang has returned once again to Los Angeles. The Dodgers claimed the catcher off waivers from the Reds, the inverse of what happened way back on November 12. To make room for Rortvedt on the 40-man roster, pitcher Anthony Banda was designated for assignment. Cincinnati […]

Yesterday, MLB finally released the full rosters for the World Baseball Classic. Japan won the event in 2023 over the US when Shohei Ohtani struck out then-teammate Mike Trout in one of the most thrilling single plate appearances in recent memory. Team USA and Japan figure to be the odds-on favorites once again with the […]

In 2025, the Boston Red Sox led all of baseball in errors, a statistical category they’ve been near the top of for several years now. And yet, most defensive metrics don’t think the Sox are that bad, and some think they are elite. By Statcast’s Fielding Run Value as presented by Baseball Savant, the Red […]

Wednesday was a busy one for the Red Sox: the 40-man roster is full once more (IKF and Mickey Gasper) and the team is, presumably, set. There are question marks remaining, like where Marcelo Mayer will play or what level Triston Casas begins the season at, or if, at this late stage, they trade an […]

Red Sox pitching prospects Jack Anderson and Eduardo Rivera were named to Great Britain’s and Puerto Rico’s initial rosters on Thursday for the upcoming World Baseball Classic. Neither Anderson, a 26-year-old right-hander, nor Rivera, a 22-year-old left-hander, is on Boston’s 40-man roster. Both hurlers joined the organization at different points in 2024, as the former … Continue reading "Red Sox pitching prospects Jack Anderson, Eduardo Rivera selected for World Baseball Classic"

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. […]
