Latest news and updates about the Red Sox
While the signing of Justin Verlander is certainly exciting and nostalgic all at the same time, let’s talk about how he turned his 2025 season around, and about keeping expectations reasonable. The future Hall of Famer isn’t quite the beast he was even 3-4 years ago. Time catches up with everyone eventually, but Verlander’s willingness […]
The ZiPS projections are out, and they’re not impressed with the thump — or lack thereof — in the Red Sox lineup. If you visit Fangraphs and sort these individual player projections by home runs, you have to go all the way down to a tie for 127th to find the first name in a […]
In late November, the Red Sox protected three pitching prospects from the 2025 Rule 5 Draft by adding left-hander Shane Drohan and right-handers David Sandlin and Tyler Uberstine to their 40-man roster. Not even three months have passed since then, but Uberstine is now the only one of those three still with the organization. Sandlin … Continue reading "After recent trades, Red Sox pitching prospect Tyler Uberstine stands alone"
Morning, all! Jack Leiter is frustrated that he won’t be able to pitch in the World Baseball Classic, as he watched his dad pitch in the inaugural tournament and it has always been a goal of his. Robert Garcia is hoping that he gets more opportunities to close games in 2026. Skip Schumaker opened camp […]
Good morning! MLB Network’s ongoing project to determine the 10 best players at each position continued yesterday, as they finally made it to the bullpen. And if you’re a Red Sox fan, this is what you want to see: Two Sox relievers on the list, with Aroldis Chapman taking the top spot. Not too shabby. […]
On Friday night, just a few days before the New England Patriots attempt to assume their rightful position as the class of the NFL (narrator: they did not), I was doing what any 28-year-old man does on a Friday night: talking about relief pitching. As I was scrolling Twitter, I ran into a tweet from […]
Heading into the 2026 season, the New York Yankees have some kinks to work out and some roles to be filled by those who are able to step up to the plate (for lack of a better phrase) and take advantage. The pitching staff is dealing with injuries—primarily to the starters—and the bullpen lost a […]
Dave Dombrowski spoke on Monday to reporters about a variety of topics. Discussing the state of the pitching staff, how top prospects are expected to get playing time and other things were on the docket, but one of the main things Dombrowski talked about was Nick Castellanos. The “right fielder” and his place on the […]
Good morning and welcome to one of the best days of the year. Say it with me: pitchers and catchers. Red Sox spring training officially opens today and, with yesterday’s Caleb Durbin trade, Craig Breslow is probably done making any significant transactions. So with the offseason essentially closed, let’s take a look at how the […]
Players are beginning to report to Spring Training, and while there is still time for big moves – as I write this, the Red Sox just traded away a top pitching prospect for a shiny new starting third-bagger – the look of teams is really beginning to shake out in a way that lets us […]
Who is he and where did he come from? Caleb Durbin is an infielder who played college baseball at D-3 Washington University (in St. Louis) and was drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 14th round of the 2021 draft. He was traded from Atlanta to the Yankees after the 2022 season for Lucas Luetge, […]
We’re back with another daily question, and today’s is a look at yesterday’s deal between the Brewers and the Red Sox. In a deal just about nobody saw coming, the Crew sent three infielders (Caleb Durbin, Andruw Monasterio, and Anthony Seigler) and a draft pick (No. 67 overall) to the Red Sox for a pair […]
Who’s on third? I don’t know. An Abbott & Costello sketch has turned into reality for the Milwaukee Brewers after Monday’s trade with the Boston Red Sox. The Brewers had seven different players spend time at third base last season. The leading returner at the position is Sal Frelick, who played one inning in one […]
Sky Sports European reporter and massive lads fan Dougie Critchley joins us to talk about the transfer window in general, and the business Sunderland got done! On today’s show… All of this and more – get subscribed to Haway The Podcast so you never miss another episode of our free daily SAFC show!
The Red Sox continued to bolster their infield mix on Monday morning by swinging a six-player trade with the Brewers. In exchange for left-handers Shane Drohan and Kyle Harrison and infielder David Hamilton, Boston acquired infielders Caleb Durbin and Andruw Monasterio and infielder/catcher Anthony Seigler from Milwaukee, the club announced. Additionally, the Red Sox received … Continue reading "Which prospect did Red Sox send to Brewers in six-player trade for Caleb Durbin?"
The Red Sox acquisition of 3B Caleb Durbin will leave their fans wanting, but it essentially takes a trade partner off the board for the Astros. Did it also add a new one? With the big news coming down today that the Boston Red Sox have acquired 3B Caleb Durbin in a deal with the […]
Never say never, but with the Caleb Durbin deal, it looks like the Red Sox are done tinkering in the infield. The timing of the deal is interesting because, just this morning, Alex Speier gave us this report about the Red Sox efforts to acquire All-Star Ketel Marte: According to multiple league sources, the Sox […]
MLB Trade Rumors: The Boston Red Sox and Milwaukee Brewers have agreed to a trade that would send third baseman Caleb Durbin from Milwaukee to Boston in exchange for pitchers Kyle Harrison and Shane Drohan and utility man David Hamilton, per multiple reports. This is what happens when spring training is looming. Mickey Gilley used […]
Ladies and gentlemen, the Boston Red Sox have a third baseman! As first reported by Jeff Passan (who else?) the Red Sox have acquired 25-year-old Caleb Durbin in a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers. Heading the other way are Kyle Harrison, David Hamilton, and Shane Drohan. We’ll have more on Durbin soon, but the quick […]
Morning all! The Super Bowl has come and gone and with that comes the smell of fresh grass and Spring Training! Things are still happening on the free agent and trade markets but soon pitchers and catchers will be reporting and closely followed will be the start of exhibition games. It’s time to play ball! […]
There is a lot to like about the Red Sox this season. A full year of Roman Anthony. What could be the best starting rotation in baseball. And swag as you scan your ticket. Boston hasn’t always had the strongest lineup of giveaways, and “first 7500 fans” is rather stingy for an organization that nearly […]
Difficult decisions are the cost of doing business for a high-level contender, and once in a while, you may be forced to move on from a player you don’t necessarily wish to; such is the case with Anthony Banda and the Dodgers. After agreeing to a deal to avoid arbitration with the left-hander, the reigning […]
We are straight smack in the middle of some of the most exciting parts of the offseason: the release of different national prospect writer’s top 100 lists. It lends itself to some excitement because it is a glimpse of what the future may hold, not only for those teams that are contenders for a World […]
Let’s start by stipulating that this signing, player, and scenario are not necessarily what we would’ve chosen for ourselves. But this is where we are now. Certainly this isn’t the bat we wanted, but let’s lay that aside for the moment. Let’s think about defense, which is something the Red Sox themselves have pledged to […]
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 […]
