Latest news and updates about the Red Sox
Good morning! We fans probably downplay the effect a trade has on a baseball player. Could you imagine how disrupting it would be if your employers could force you into a different job in a different city in an instant? But Payton Tolle isn’t too fazed by the trade rumors, which is just one thing […]
Yesterday, we told you about the four Red Sox prospects who made their way into MLB Pipeline’s top-100 list: Payton Tolle, Franklin Arias, Connelly Early, and Kyson Witherspoon. Today, we have a new prospect ranking — this one from the Athletic’s Keith Law. The same four players are on it, though Law is comparatively lower […]
While most of the players the Nationals received in the MacKenzie Gore trade are years away from the big leagues, Abimelec Ortiz is an exception. He may not possess the upside or athleticism of other players in the deal, but Ortiz has proven he can mash. At some point in 2026, we are likely to […]
It’s been a hard year and we’re still in January. I’ve been working on some stuff. Researching. Hitting the archives. Looking for lost media. The digital world is an interesting place. The saying was, at one point, “the internet is forever” but now we know linkrot is a plague for the internet as websites shut […]
Much like a group you may have heard about from Liverpool, the Red Sox have a quartet of young, talented lads who are breaking through a top 100 chart in the middle of the decade. Maybe that’s a stretch, I dunno, but I’m happy that we do have a Fab Four to call our own. […]
Hello and happy Monday, folks. A very happy Monday, indeed, even after we’ve been whacked with snow—13 more days until we get a chance to see the Pats hoist another Lombardi. Perhaps Malcolm Butler can sign onto the practice squad, just for ol’ times’ sake. This is a Red Sox blog, though. Not a ton […]
New York Daily News | Peter Sblendorio: The major business for the Yankees seems to be done for the winter, after the team agreed to terms with Cody Bellinger last week. That makes Belli the biggest addition (or retread) of the club alongside the returning Trent Grisham and new Yankees pitcher Ryan Weathers. It’s not […]
Throughout the 1910s and 1920s, the Yankees swindled the Red Sox on a couple different deals, mostly famously the one for Babe Ruth, a trade that’s had its own lore for decades. The Yankees’ acquisition of Les Nunamaker from Boston a couple years prior is not remotely on the level of Ruth, just because you […]
Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Tyler Samaniego, and he has only a slightly easier name to pronounce than Jhostynxon “The Password” Garcia, whom he was traded for along with Johan Oviedo. Samaniego has not yet cracked a Major League roster, but his status as a lefty arm with a 98 […]
Coming away from the St. Louis Cardinals Winter Warm-Up event, there was plenty of buzz among fans about how excited they are to see the young guns get their opportunity to light up Busch Stadium. Even in a season that is sure to be full of growing pains, Cardinals Nation is ready for Spring Training […]
The recent talk about Dustin Pedroia on the Hall of Fame ballot has only further increased my desire for a capable, reliable Red Sox infield. We’ve seen it before, and we could get there again. Alex Bregman’s departure not only opened up a hole which the front office thought it had solved in 2025, but […]
The Red Sox invited 14 minor leaguers to major league spring training on Friday. Of those 14, Jeremy Wu-Yelland was the only left-handed pitcher to make the cut. Wu-Yelland will be attending his first big league spring training camp in Fort Myers beginning next month. The 26-year-old is currently regarded as SoxProspects.com’s No. 48 prospect, … Continue reading "Red Sox LHP prospect Jeremy Wu-Yelland earns first big league camp invite"
This would be a significant change on the trade winds rumor front. According to former Fox 26 Houston Sports Director Will Kunkel, the Astros are not currently in trade discussions with the Boston Red Sox for OF Jarren Duran: Now, trade talks and rumors are a fickle entity, as not currently being in trade talks […]
To the extent that Craig Breslow was hired to turn around Red Sox pitching, you can’t say he that hasn’t done his job. In just two offseasons, Breslow has completely revamped the top of the Sox rotation by aggressively acquiring one of the game’s best pitchers in Garrett Crochet and two other recent all-stars in […]
Good morning! MLB Network just completed its annual exercise in ranking the top-100 players in Major League Baseball. You already know who number 1 is, and he doesn’t play for the Red Sox. But Garrett Crochet does, and he led the way for the Sox by coming in as the 12th-best player in the game. […]
Having lost his starting place to new signing Milos Kerkez over the summer, it has seemed something of a foregone conclusion that Liverpool left back Andy Robertson would move on at the end of the 2025-26 season when the 31-year-old’s contract expires. Now, though, it appears an earlier departure is possible. Though far from certain […]
Wednesday was quite a baseball day in New York. The Yankees signed Cody Bellinger back to their squad for $162 million, and the Mets acquired Freddy Peralta from the Brewers in exchange for prospects Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat. This has ramifications for the Red Sox on a few fronts: First, the deal for Bellinger […]
Earlier this week, MLB Pipeline ranked Red Sox minor league infielder Mikey Romero as one of the top 10 third base prospects in baseball heading into the 2026 season. Romero slotted in at No. 5 on MLB Pipeline’s list behind the Brewers’ Andrew Fischer, the Mets’ Jacob Reimer, the Tigers’ Hao-Yu Lee, and the Athletics’ … Continue reading "Red Sox’ Mikey Romero ranked No. 5 third base prospect in baseball by MLB Pipeline"
Earlier this week, baseball writers voted Carlos Beltrán into the Baseball Hall of Fame. On his fourth year of the ballot, Beltrán garnered 84.2% of the votes cast, well more than the 75% required to gain induction. He finished his career in 2017 as a member of the World Series champion Houston Astros. Of course, […]
There isn’t a straight-line between these two things, but they are interrelated enough that I think they are worth pairing up for this post. Especially when it’s a topic I’m already a little tired of regurgitating. With the arrival of Alex Bregman at third base, Matt Shaw is being pushed into a super utility role, which, per Jed Hoyer at the Cubs Convention, could include some reserve time in the outfield. Although it’s not a position he’s played, Shaw is a sufficiently good athlete that ...
Just five days ago, one of the hottest rumors making the rounds involved the Houston Astros and Boston Red Sox having discussions involving Astros 3B Isaac Paredes and Red Sox OF Jarren Duran. As typical to baseball offseason talks, however, that could all be a thing of the past just as fast as it was […]
Ranger Suárez is officially a member of the Red Sox. We found this out unofficially last week. Which started raising questions: what about the 40-man roster? Had the team flipped an outfielder or pitcher, possibly with prospects, they would have plenty of room to sign one of the remaining free agents and add that unnamed […]
The BBWAA has released the results of their vote. Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones made the cut and will join Jeff Kent as new members of the Hall of Fame Chase Utley (59.1%), Andy Pettitte (48.5), Félix Hernández (46.1) and Álex Rodríguez (40.0) were the closest to line without getting over. Not getting 5% of […]
Before making the signing of Ranger Suarez official earlier Wednesday morning, the Red Sox made a trade with the Twins to create a 40-man roster spot for the All-Star left-hander. In exchange for infielder Tristan Gray, who came over from the Rays for reliever Luis Guerrero in November, Boston acquired minor league catcher/first baseman Nate … Continue reading "Which prospect did Red Sox acquire from Twins for Tristan Gray?"
As Eric Stephen covered on January 20, the Dodgers have a bevy of promising outfielder prospects in their minor league system. On Wednesday, Baseball America dropped its Top 100 prospect list, listing the following farmhands: In comparison, there have been changes, especially when compared to last year’s list, which was headlined by Roki Sasaki. In […]
