With just over a week remaining until the August 3 trade deadline, the team that matched its 15-game winning streak from eight decades ago has become active in the trade market. After being widely projected as sellers at the deadline, their recent surge has transformed them into legitimate postseason contenders. And Boston’s chief baseball officer, […] The post Boston Fans Question Craig Breslow & Red Sox as Team Cuts Ties With 24YO Pitcher to Solve 3B Problem appeared first on EssentiallySp...
We have our first real move of the trade deadline. Late Saturday night, Jeff Passon reported that the Boston Red Sox were trading lefty starter Connelly Early to the Washington Nationals for infielder Curtis Mead. A move that caught many by surprise, even causing confusion, although the deal does make sense for both sides. There’s […] The post Understanding a Very Surprising Trade: Connelly Early for Curtis Mead appeared first on Just Baseball .
The Boston Red Sox stunningly traded young starting pitcher, Connelly Early, and it could backfire against Craig Breslow in a major way.
The Red Sox traded Connelly Early to the Nationals today in a trade that may or may not prove to to be a good move. That’s right: I’m not afraid of the hot takez! It’s hard to say farewell to Early. A homegrown left-handed starter is the single most valuable commodity in baseball. But, moreover, […]
The Red Sox are adding to their offense, acquiring infielder Curtis Mead from the Nationals in exchange for left-hander Connelly Early, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
The Red Sox are sending left-hander Connelly Early to the Nationals for infielder Curtis Mead, reports Jeff Passan of ESPN. The teams have not announced the deal. It’s a fascinating one-for-one swap between two teams in the thick of the playoff race. Boston currently holds the final AL Wild Card spot. The club adds a […]
Anticipating a fine pitchers duel on a fine afternoon, I asked who had it better than us at the start of today’s game. The answer ended up being Blue Jays fans. Dylan Cease, in the midst of a season that is going to end with Cy Young votes if not the award itself, held up […]
George Springer is not having a great send-off season in the final year of his contract with the Toronto Blue Jays. The 36-year-old has had a dreadful season, batting just .229 with a .708 OPS and just 11 homers. Not quite the way he wants to go into free agency. Nevertheless, teams will remember his heroic playoff performances in his career (including his clutch HR in last year's epic Game 7 of the ALCS ). And he reminded Jays fans and rival teams (and the Boston Red Sox, in...
Dylan Cease dominated from the first pitch to the last, tossing a one-hit shutout with 12 strikeouts as the Blue Jays rolled to a 6-0 victory over the Red Sox at Fenway Park. Toronto gave its ace all the run support he would need with a five-run third inning against Sonny Gray, handing Boston its most lopsided loss in nearly a month.
The Nats needed to win this game in order to stay in the hunt, and that is exactly what they did. In their most important game in years, the Nats held their nerve and battled to a 5-3 win. It was not a perfect performance by any means, but they did enough to get a […]
Blue Jays 6 Red Sox 0 Dylan Cease went nine complete, giving up just one hit (with three walks and twelve strikeouts). He was just amazing, even with Dan telling us he wasn’t throwing as hard as usual. And the offense did the job. We got: We had 15 hits, 14 more than the Red […]
1954 In the first game of a twin bill at Boston, White Sox pitcher Jack Harshman set the franchise record by striking out 16 Red Sox. Harshman, a converted first baseman, was taught a “slip pitch” (a variation of a palm ball) by manager Paul Richards. Harshman got the win, 5-2. At the time, Harshman’s 16 Ks were two shy […]
Game #105. After yesterday’s game, John said that Tyler Rogers wasn’t available for the game and that Louis Varland would only be used if there was a save situation. It was nice to see them score more than one run. Today let’s shot for more than one run and a win. I know that is […]
It’s the most beautiful day of the summer and we’ve got ourselves a bona fide pitcher’s duel that will start in the late afternoon and carry us into the gloaming. Sonny Gray, whose 2.48 ERA would be fifth in baseball if he had enough innings to qualify, will take the bump in the top of […]
The red-hot Boston Red Sox (53-49), with 16 wins in their last 17 games, look to keep rolling on Saturday when they take on the Toronto Blue Jays (47-57) at Fenway Park. How to Watch Toronto Blue Jays vs Boston…
The trade market for Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams is reportedly heating up.
While the Boston Red Sox want to keep No. 1 prospect Franklin Arias, a new rumor claims they will dangle […]
Just a month ago, the Boston Red Sox looked like...
What a game the Yankees just pitched to open their series against the Phillies with a 1-0 win! Cam Schlittler was dominant for 7.1 scoreless innings with a dozen strikeouts, Brent Headrick escaped an eighth innings bases loaded jam against Kyle Schwarber, and David Bednar extended his MLB-leading scoreless streak to 22.2 innings to nail […]
The Wild Ride Is Over The front office is facing a hell of a dilemma due to the Red Sox historic 15-game winning streak. The team was completely written off by almost everyone, including yours truly, well before late June when they sported an abysmal 32-46 record. Then the Sox put their heads down and […]
The Cardinals could turn to Brycen Mautz to shore up a bullpen that has been miserable most of the season.
After seeing their franchise-record-tying 15-game winning streak come to an end Wednesday night, the Red Sox returned from Thursday’s off day with a 6-4 victory over the Blue Jays in Friday night’s series opener at Fenway Park.
