Latest news and updates about the Red Sox
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. […]

Errors and strikeouts. If you’re a Red Sox fan you’re probably sick of seeing both of those things. The 2025 Red Sox led all of baseball in errors last year, after committing the second-most errors in 2024 and the fourth-most in 2023. The strikeout numbers don’t look much better, as Red Sox hitters finished with […]

The Red Sox swung a creative, financially motivated trade with the White Sox on Sunday that netted them salary relief, roster flexibility, and a new pitching prospect. In exchange for right-handers Jordan Hicks and David Sandlin, along with $8 million in cash considerations and two players to be named later, Boston acquired minor league righty … Continue reading "Which prospect did Red Sox acquire from White Sox for Jordan Hicks, David Sandlin?"

Day 2 of SoxFest Live felt very familiar, with many of the same key talking points put out by GM Chris Getz and manager Will Venable the night before. However, the atmosphere did seem a bit different. While Friday night set the tone for a more intimate gathering, Saturday’s sold-out crowd made it feel more […]

Despite a busy weekend hosting a fan convention Sox Fest Live at the Ramova Theatre on the South Side, Chicago White Sox GM Chris Getz was still making moves behind the scenes. Between interacting with fans and answering questions during a town hall, Getz was brewing up a trade with the Boston Red Sox to […]

When the Boston Red Sox today traded reliever Jordan Hicks and most of his contract to the Chicago White Sox, I wondered if it was a precursor to third baseman Eugenio Suarez finally signing. He’s not the defensive upgrade the Red Sox have reportedly been looking for, but it might be a beggars and choosers situation for them at this point, if they don’t want to pay an outrageous trade price to some other team. Well, the trade did indeed immediately precede a Suarez signing, but not with t...

Pitchers Jordan Hicks and David Sandlin are swapping the color of their footwear. ESPN’s Jeff Passan has reported that the Red Sox are shipping the pair of righties to the Chicago White Sox. In return, Boston will be getting another young pitching prospect: right-hander Gage Ziehl, a product of the University of Miami (the Florida […]

I like Kristian Campbell and want him to succeed. But I am totally convinced that, if he does, it won’t be at second base. Is it harsh to say that he was arguably the worst defensive middle infielder I’d ever seen last season? Maybe I’m still haunted by the routine double play that he flubbed […]

Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Jake Bennett, the former Oklahoma Sooner and 2022 second-round draft pick who the Red Sox acquired for Luis Perales earlier in the offseason. This is curious because Perales had just returned from a 2024 UCL tear and still is just 22 years old, but the […]

This article will examine how the speedy outfielder fared on the 2025 campaign as a whole.

Good morning! The Red Sox released a behind-the-scenes video from Story Camp yesterday and I highly recommend it for anyone who is looking to improve their form on barbell squats. But the most intriguing thing in the video may come at about the 10-minute mark, when Jarren Duran is briefly shown wearing an infielder’s glove […]

Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Nate Baez and he comes from Oro Valley, Arizona. Oro Valley looks like this: …so I can only assume that baseball is Baez’s second career after robbing stagecoaches didn’t work out. The Red Sox just acquired him from the Twins organization in exchange for Triston […]

The Yankees offseason hasn’t been as bad as the average fan believes: it has been worse. All kidding aside, things haven’t been explosive on the player acquisition front, but the Bombers have done plenty of work. They brought back Cody Bellinger, Trent Grisham, Amed Rosario, Tim Hill, Ryan Yarbrough, and Paul Blackburn while also trading […]

After playing a key role in winning a Dominican Summer League championship and being named the organization’s 2024 Latin Program Position Player of the Year in his professional debut, Red Sox outfield prospect Justin Gonzales took another step forward in 2025. Gonzales, originally signed for $250,000 as an international free agent out of the Dominican … Continue reading "How did power-hitting Red Sox OF prospect Justin Gonzales fare in 2025?"

Yesterday, our own Bob Osgood reviewed the pitching staff and noted this when it came to Connelly Early’s projections: “Early’s 16% K-BB, and near-3.50 ERA in both projections, is startling. Of course, thanks to the logjam of pitchers on this team, he’s projected for only 50-60 innings at the moment. That being said, there are […]

Good morning! It’s prospect ranking season, and we’ve already seen a few new top-100 lists, most of which feature the same quartet of Red Sox minor leaguers: Payton Tolle, Connelly Early, Franklin Arias, and Kyson Witherspoon. Today, we’ve got a couple of rankings of the system as a whole, with Keith Law giving the Sox […]

Let’s get this out of the way quickly. In 2018, both Craig Kimbrel (former Brave) and Dallas Keuchel (eventual Brave) received Qualifying Offers. No team wanted to sign them and give up a draft pick. So, both Kimbrel and Keuchel had to wait until midseason in order to join a club. Kimbrel signed a three-year, […]

Liverpool locked down a place in the Round of 16 of the Champions League with Wednesday’s 6-0 thumping of Qarabag FK that means they finish third in the league phase of Europe’s premier cup competition. For a side that has struggled as much as the Reds have at times this season, it’s unquestionably a big […]

The final infield bat? Up in the air. Free agents? Available. A trade for CJ Abrams? Possible. Maybe? The Washington Nationals did just trade Mackenzie Gore so it’s possible they burn things completely to the ground. Gore, however, did cost the Texas Rangers a king’s ransom of prospects. We are, as of today, January 29, […]

In yet another incredibly tight vote, it was Big Sugar who emerged victorious! With 36 votes out of 124 responses in this round, big right-hander Zach Maxwell claimed the plurality, narrowly topping the likes of Leo Balcazar (34 votes) and Aaron Watson (29 votes) – with the latter two holding slim leads of their own […]

Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Seth Martinez. If you’re like me, you saw the name “Seth” in an article about Red Sox transactions and briefly celebrated because you thought that Seth Lugo was coming to Boston. Seth Martinez is not Seth Lugo. He does, however, own a World Series ring […]

By the mid-to-late-2000s, it was readily apparent the dynasty years were over. The Yankees hadn’t reached a World Series since 2003. Perhaps worse, they’d allowed the Red Sox to break The Curse, with one of sport’s wildest combacks in the ALCS That Shall Not Be Talked About. Despite those setbacks, however, the Yankees continued to […]

Locking in defensive returns is often the difference between a red arrow and a green one in the world of Fantasy Premier League. While goals and assists capture the headlines, the 4-point windfall for a clean sheet remains the gold standard for goalkeepers and defenders, while even midfielders benefit from a sneaky 1-point bonus for […]
