Latest news and updates about the Red Sox
Yesterday, manager Alex Cora announced that Marcelo Mayer would be the starting second baseman for the 2026 Red Sox. Thus concludes one of the sillier spring training storylines we’ve seen in a long time. There was never really any baseball reason to suggest that either Isiah Kiner-Falefa or Andruw Monasterio would make more sense for […]
What’s This Team’s Deal? This team has won one World Series since the year 2000. I haven’t looked into what happened in the hundred years before that. In 2025, after winning a three-game Wild Card series against the Red Sox, New York went down to the Toronto Blue Jays 3-games-to-1, allowing 37 runs in those […]
The Red Sox parted ways with another notable international signing on Friday by releasing 19-year-old outfielder Edwin Brito. As noted by SoxProspects.com’s Andrew Parker, Brito received the third-largest bonus ($450,000) in Boston’s 2024 international signing class behind only fellow Dominican outfielder Vladimir Asencio ($1 million) and Venezuelan infielder Carlos Carrasquel ($590,000), both of whom have … Continue reading "Red Sox release another notable international signing after two seas...
We had a great matchup of two dominant lefties in Spring Training on Saturday, with Chris Sale facing Garrett Crochet and Sale’s former team, the Red Sox. Sale gave up two very hard-hit balls in the first at over 104 MPH each, but only allowed a walk for a single baserunner. Sale was able to […]
The Braves have one of their final tune-ups of spring against the Red Sox and they are facing Garrett Crochet, who has had a fairly unimpressive spring. Still, the star pitcher who the Braves reportedly were interested in trading for should be a good test for the Braves’ bats. You can see the lineups here […]
From the moment I introduced myself to Shea Langeliers it was clear he was just an easy guy to talk to. Friendly, personable, and laid back, Langeliers’ manner belies the insane job description of a major league catcher. That became one focus for our interview Saturday, March 14th, starting with the newest challenge. Pun intended. […]
At this point each season, everything is fresh and new, and nearly anything seems possible. For the Red Sox infield, the mystery of what the season holds is even more intriguing because the Red Sox have an almost completely new-look infield. For the most part, the players are new to each other and to Fenway: […]

First pitch against the Boston Red Sox is at 1:05 at Charlotte Sports Park and the Rays will be providing tv and radio coverage.
Is it on TV? Yup! First pitch is on NESN at 1:05 PM. What’s the lineup? Why should we watch? Do you need another reason to watch other than the return of Roman Anthony? We’ve got Willson Contreras in there, too, whom we haven’t seen much of this spring. And while Blake Wehunt isn’t much […]
As the Red Sox approach Opening Day, it’s time to start taking at look at the other American League playoff contenders. Next up, a team that’s led by an MVP candidate. What’s this team’s deal? In 2024 the Royals bounced back from a 106-loss season to win 86 games and finish in second place in […]
Red Sox fans have been spoiled by the rosters of recent Spring Breakout games. That’s what happens when your farm system is stocked with some of the very best prospects in baseball. The spring breakout roster isn’t quite as loaded this year. Here’s the team that will be in the dugout against the Orioles prospects […]
The Red Sox should be deemed the unofficial champions of the 2026 World Baseball Classic. Garrett Whitlock absolutely stood out as a star from his time on the mound in March, though his run ended with heartbreak and fair concerns for the upcoming season. Prior to taking the ball in the ninth inning of the […]
The Red Sox released six minor leaguers on Thursday, including one of their former top international signings. As noted by SoxProspects.com’s Andrew Parker, Boston cut ties with 21-year-old infielder Fraymi De Leon, who received the largest bonus ($1.2 million) of the club’s 2022 international signing class. At the time of his signing in January 2022, … Continue reading "Red Sox release former top international signing after four seasons"
Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Tommy Kahnle and, like most relievers in their mid-to-late 30s, he comes from all over the league. As one of the rare baseball players to grow up in upstate New York, Kahnle settled for Division II baseball in college before being selected by the Yankees […]
Over the last few weeks, I wrote over 10,000 words about 61 pitchers in the American League East. I talked about what they’ve done, how they attack hitters, and where they can improve. While I left some nuggets about what pitchers might become, I wanted to give myself a space to be publicly wrong in […]
Not only was the World Baseball Classic a massive success, but it also featured Red Sox players as a main character in what felt like almost every game. So as our attention turns back to the more traditional 162 game brand of baseball, do any performances on the global stage change your outlook for the […]
After avoiding a sweep by Purdue last weekend, Maryland fell 7-5 to Richmond on Tuesday. Redshirt junior Devin Russell notched his first home run of the season, a three-run bomb, and Ryan Costello recorded his 30th RBI during the game against Richmond, but the Terps struggled to hold onto a lead. Now, Maryland will travel […]
New York Sports+ | Joel Sherman ($): Gerrit Cole finally threw a pitch in anger. 54 weeks after undergoing Tommy John surgery, the former Cy Young winner returned to the mound with a spring start against the Red Sox yesterday. He threw just 10 pitches in a clean inning, but his fastball velo looked hot. […]
The Red Sox undoubtedly placed an emphasis on reinforcing their lower-minors catching depth over the winter. They addressed this area of need by acquiring the likes of Adonys Guzman, Ronny Hernandez, and Luke Heyman in trades with the Pirates, White Sox, and Mariners. While Guzman, Hernandez, and Heyman represent intriguing external additions, the Red Sox … Continue reading "Why Red Sox catching prospect Gerardo Rodriguez is a name to watch in 2026"
This afternoon, the Yankees proved that one of the most integral parts of the sport, the baseball bat, is completely unnecessary to win a baseball game. In a contest where pitchers on both sides looked dominant—including Gerrit Cole, who pitched the top of the first inning—the only run came on a throwing error caused by […]
The knowns about the Cincinnati Reds pitching staff for next week’s Opening Day game against the Boston Red Sox are, for now, the following: Based on contracts and easy assumptions, each of Emilio Pagan, Tony Santillan, Graham Ashcraft, Pierce Johnson, and Brock Burke are locks to form the bulk of the bullpen on Opening Day, […]

Surprise! Gerrit Cole is back! Well, sort of. The Yankee ace will be pitching in today’s spring training game against the Red Sox at George M. Steinbrenner Field. But make sure you get to your TVs (or streaming devices) in time for first pitch! Cole is only scheduled to pitch one inning today—and then he […]
Former Barcelona star Neymar is predicting Lamine Yamal and Raphinha will score for Hansi Flick’s side on Wednesday night in their Champions League clash with Newcastle. Yamal seems to have been taking inspiration from Neymar ahead of the game, posting a video of the Brazilian in action on Instagram, along with the message “see you […]
