Latest news and updates about the Red Sox
Happy Home Opening Day, everybody. If you feel like approaching today as the true Opening Day, no one would blame you. After nearly 48 hours of mild rage, I’m ready to turn the page. A question for today: Who will step up to provide leadership for these 2026 Red Sox? Part of the issue with […]
We made it to Opening Day. It was hard to get here, literally. A 1-5 record before setting foot in front of the Green Monster is not what Red Sox Nation waited all winter to see. Already the winnable games in Cincinnati look like missed opportunities compared to the series in Houston. But now the […]
Through the first week of this new season, Alex Cora has already started to shuffle the lineup, swapping both personnel and positioning. It’s not entirely surprising—this team simply hasn’t found its footing and this is the easiest lever for Cora to pull. But the issue here isn’t just that the Red Sox aren’t hitting. It’s […]

The Detroit Tigers open their 2026 home schedule on Friday afternoon against the St. Louis Cardinals after starting the season with just two wins in their first six games. That pair of victories came in the opening series against the San Diego Padres — the first two games of the campaign, to be exact — […]
Greetings, Brew Crew Ball community. The Brewers are off to a hot start, as they lead the division at 5-1 heading into their first road trip of the season. They’ll visit the Royals this weekend before taking on Caleb Durbin and the Red Sox in Boston to open next week. Feel free to use this […]
As Kyle Schwarber began to round the bases on Opening Day, the Rangers TV broadcasters griped that the moonshot that sent him on that short but joyous journey hadn’t quite been earned. A left-handed hitter, they said, can get “cheapies” by sending the ball over Citizens Bank Park’s friendly left-field fence, as Schwarber had. The […]
If I were to say the words “October baseball” to you, you would instantly be able to picture it in your imagination. You know exactly how October baseball looks, feels, and sounds. You see the bundled-up fans in the stands, you see the FOX score bug on the screen, you hear the crowd roar for […]
Worcester: W, 5-4 (BOX SCORE) While the Red Sox were losing to the Astros, the WooSox were in St. Paul for a 2:10 PM first pitch following Tuesday’s 19-3 rout of the Saints (Twins AAA). Jack Anderson fell into a 4-0 deficit in the third inning via a grand slam that put St. Paul’s win […]
On the night of February 13th, 2025, John Henry lit up a victory cigar to celebrate what would ultimately turn into one year of Alex Bregman’s services. Today, nearly 14 months later, Alex Bregman is gone, but the ashes from that cigar continue to catch fire and create new destructive flames on a seemingly daily […]
Good morning! I have some positive news: The Red Sox will not lose today. That’s of course because they don’t play again until tomorrow’s home opener, but hey, they can’t get any worse after a reset … right? In the meantime, we’ve gotten a good whiff of the stink emanating from this lineup over the […]
The Red Sox got former Rule 5 Draft pick Angel Bastardo back from the Blue Jays on Wednesday, per announcements from both clubs. The 23-year-old right-hander was designated for assignment last week after failing to make Toronto’s Opening Day roster and was offered back to Boston for $50,000 upon clearing waivers. Bastardo was left off … Continue reading "Red Sox get Rule 5 pick Angel Bastardo back from Blue Jays"
HOUSTON, TX – Once upon a time, he was the de facto leader of Crush City. Today, Captain Crush was back. Carlos Correa, who has been open about his excitement of being back in Houston for a whole season and the high expectations he has for this team, hit a 3-run homer in the fifth […]
The Red Sox cannot wipe away this road trip fast enough. Fenway Park, here they come. Another loss to the Houston Astros, a 6-4 final on Wednesday, spelled more of the same. Too many strikeouts. Too many errors. Not good enough in any phase. Not even Crochet Day could put the Red Sox back in […]
The Houston Astros (4-2) look to sweep the Boston Red Sox (1-4) in an afternoon series finale at Daikin Park. RHP Mike Burrows, who grew up a Red Sox fan from Waterford, CT, will get the start for the Astros today opposite LHP Garrett Crochet and the Red Sox. APRIL FOOLS!: The Astros and Red […]
The Red Sox play their sixth game of the season this afternoon. They have just one win and 13 total runs to show for it. By the way, the Red Sox are now just 4-11 in March over the last four years and 2-8 over the last two years. But March is over! Now, Garrett […]
This Major League team is tough to watch, right? Well, guess what? The WooSox, featuring Nick Sogard, Nate Eaton, Kristian Campbell — all guys with playing time in the organization in the last year — are raking in the series opener in St. Paul. Let’s get right into it! Worcester: W, 19-3 (BOX SCORE) You […]
For all the talk of Dombrowski running the team back, there are a few significant players and faces who made up the 2022-25 run, now gone. Ranger Suárez signed a five-year deal with Boston, Nick Castellanos is trying to prove himself in San Diego, and Matt Strahm returned to the city that started his career […]
So Johan Oviedo’s Red Sox career hasn’t started the way anyone would’ve liked. Oviedo didn’t crack the rotation out of spring training and then was roughed up in his first relief appearance against the Astros on Monday, displaying a concerning dip in velocity. But Andrew Bailey and The Run Prevention Unit have some ideas as […]
Good morning! The Red Sox are bad (right now) but Garrett Crochet is good (almost always) and he pitches today. We are not yet at the point where we need to make vacation plans for October. Having said that, oof. What a frustrating start to the season. To kick off today’s discussion, let’s hear what […]
A number of Red Sox players were hot in the World Baseball Classic. A number did well in Spring Training. But it hasn’t really carried over into the first week of the season. The Boston Red Sox are 1-4 after a full turn of the rotation and are once again looking for Garrett Crochet to […]
LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani hasn’t hit much yet this season, but Tuesday night was a reminder that the four-time MVP is also an excellent pitcher. The Dodgers needed his arm to beat the Cleveland Guardians 4-1 in the middle game of their interleague series at a damp Dodger Stadium that was much closer than […]
For the fourth day in a row, the Red Sox managed to play their new worst game yet of the young season. And while there’s still 157 more of these after tonight, that’s suddenly starting to sound more like a threat than a reason to get comfortable. Only two good things happened in this one: […]
He may have been on a smaller pitch count than usual, but Hunter Brown didn’t let that stop him from charging through the Boston lineup. Brown earned his first win of the season tonight, hurling 6 innings of 1 run ball with 8 strikeouts as the Astros throttled the Red Sox 9-2. Brown was lifted […]
Kodai Senga’s first start of the season went well, but the Mets’ lineup was lifeless as the team lost 3-0 to the lowly Cardinals tonight in St. Louis. It’s hard to come out of seeing your team get shut out by an unimpressive cast of pitchers, but let’s start with the positive. Senga continued to […]
