Latest news and updates about the Red Sox
The Boston Red Sox definitely made upgrades this offseason, though those moves mostly came in the starting rotation with additions in Sonny Gray, Johan Oviedo and Ranger Suarez. Deserved or not, that’s left plenty of underwhelming feelings and question marks about the state of the Red Sox lineup. Boston never replaced Rafael Devers after the […]
After a disappointing 8-6 loss at the hands of Italy on Tuesday night, Team USA is now on the brink of elimination, and their destiny is now out of their hands. “It’s out of our control,” Team USA captain Aaron Judge said. “Now we just need a little luck, and we’ll see what happens.” The […]
What’s been the story of Spring Training so far? If we’re talking big picture stuff, then it’s probably either the battle for the fifth spot in the rotation or the questions about Marcelo Mayer’s role on the team. But if we’re talking strictly about on-field matters, then I think the answer is Braiden Ward, who […]
Good morning! The Red Sox are winning the World Baseball Classic… which is actually exactly what happened last time. In the 2023 tournament, Masataka Yoshida roared out of the gate on his way to MVP honors, Yu Chang continually electrified a raucous home soil crowd in Taiwan, and Kiké Hernandez, Jorge Alfaro, and Alex Verdugo […]
To the extent that there ever was any intrigue about whether Caleb Durbin, Marcelo Mayer, or someone else would be playing third base for the 2026 Red Sox, you can put that intrigue to bed. Alex Cora, while going out of his way to clarify that he wasn’t announcing anything official, basically made it official: […]
There’s a good chance that the Cincinnati Reds will have their ace pitching every fifth day down the stretch of the 2026 season. That’s the best possible way to spin the news that dropped on Tuesday, which contains the important caveat that Hunter Greene will have surgery to remove bone chips in his ailing right […]

Kentucky missed out on another key recruiting target in the class of 2026 on Tuesday when five-star shooting guard Caleb Holt announced his commitment to Arizona during an appearance on ESPN’s First Take. Holt, a 6-foot-5, 200-pound guard from Florida, had been one of the top prospects on Mark Pope’s recruiting board. The Wildcats hosted […]
With the bankruptcy and complete collapse of Main Street Sports, which had the local TV rights for nine MLB teams (and previously others who had left the group), the local TV landscape for baseball is changing again for 2026. In past editions of this article, I’ve been able to cobble together what each team was […]
When the Red Sox signed Masataka Yoshida on December 15, 2022 it was to mixed reactions. Xander Bogaerts had signed with the San Diego Padres a few days earlier, lost to free agency sorta-kinda because of the addition of Trevor Story. Kyle Schwarber the year before had been deemed “too expensive” when he signed with […]
What up, TOC Nation! It is officially sports betting season. This article is about betting, so if you are not interested in this topic, please skip this article. There will be several of these as we go through March Madness, but I will do my best to make it clear in the title if it […]
The Athletics faced off against the Cincinnati Reds this afternoon at Goodyear Ballpark in Goodyear, Arizona. The A’s came into this game fresh off a split squad sweep of the Angels and Dodgers yesterday. Jack Perkins took the mound to get the A’s started today. So far this spring he’s 1-2 in two starts with […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Red Sox: Let’s talk about it (or the WBC stuff)
Is it on TV? No! It is not! And you better get used to that, because NESN isn’t showing the game tomorrow or Friday this week either and the Sox are off on Wednesday. I will never in my life understand this. Even if it’s “too expensive” to do a full broadcast, why not just […]
The 2026 World Baseball Classic is well underway. Early mornings, extra innings, slaughter rules, ludicrous dingers from Kyle Schwarber, and walkoffs—so far, this tourney has had it all. With pool play set to wrap up in a few days, I thought now would be a good time to take stock into how the Red Sox’s […]
The January silly season has come and gone and one of the more worrying deals that came to life during the transfer window as the potential for veteran left back and vice captain Andrew Robertson to leave Liverpool for Tottenham Hotspur. Thankfully the move ended up falling through before getting settled and the window’s closing, […]
Today’s spring training matchup pits the Brewers against the Seattle Mariners, who finished one win shy of the World Series last season. On the mound for Milwaukee tonight is lefty Kyle Harrison, acquired from the Red Sox this offseason in exchange for a package headlined by infielder Caleb Durbin. As I wrote about a few […]
For Cincinnati Reds left-hander Andrew Abbott, there couldn’t have been much better news on Sunday. Manager Terry Francona informed the 2025 National League All Star that he would get the ball come Opening Day, an honor that will sear him into the history books for all those in Reds Country. The Reds announced the move […]
Barcelona jetted out to Newcastle today ahead of the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie against Eddie Howe’s side at St James’ Park on Tuesday night. Hansi Flick’s side will be aiming to book their place in the quarter-finals of the competition as Barca seek to lift the European Cup for the […]

Is it on TV? Yes, first pitch is at 1:05 PM on NESN. What’s the lineup? What should we watch for? Honestly, this is yet another tough lineup. If you’re a fan of under-the-radar pitching prospects with intriguing stuff, then you’ll like watching Jake Bennett. And it’s increasingly looking like Andruw Monasterio is going to […]
I’m not going to pretend I’m a doctor. I’m not to going to act like I know more about Romy Gonzalez’s body than the highly paid and likely excellent medical staff working in Fort Myers and on Ipswitch Street. I’m not here to second guess medical advice — I’m sure there was a very solid […]
A legendary legacy. First pitch against the Boston Red Sox is at 1:05 at JetBlue Park and the Rays will be providing TV and radio coverage.
Is it on TV? Yes, after a one-day break from spring training coverage, the Sox are back on the air. You can catch the game on either NESN360 or over the air on WHDH, first pitch at 1:05 PM. What’s the lineup? What should we watch for? It’s Johan Oviedo’s third start, which means we […]
At this point in spring training, the starting second baseman remains a mystery, but Red Sox fans should be ready to go along for the ride. Bring an open mind and a hopefulness that comes from knowing that the Sox seem poised to get better contributions from the keystone position than they have been in […]
