Latest news and updates about the Red Sox
If it wasn’t clear a few weeks ago, it certainly is now: Juventus want to sign Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker and give manager Luciano Spalletti the experienced, safe pair of hands in goal that he hasn’t necessarily had thus far during his tenure in Turin. That pursuit of the keeper that Spalletti worked with during […]
TV: NESN First Pitch: 6:40 p.m. ET The Red Sox found a way to take a deep breath and played relaxed over the last two nights. It’s the best thing that could’ve happened for Boston as a three-game sweep is on the line for the first time this season. Sonny Gray returns from the injured […]
You all know that the Cubs struggled for the first 16 games of 2026, going 7-9. Since then it’s been almost all winning — 10 straight, then three losses, and now entering Wednesday night’s game against the Reds on a seven-game winning streak (and also 13 consecutive wins at Wrigley Field). I decided to see […]
The calendar has flipped to May, which means we aren’t allowed to say “it’s still only April!” any longer. That’s fairly obvious when one actually reads the calendar, but by this point in the season, some of the things that are happening on the field may actually be how the season is going to happen […]
Worcester: W, 7-6 (BOX SCORE) The WooSox enjoyed an early home run from Mickey Gasper, his fifth on the year, but the good feelings didn’t last for too long against the Rail Riders (Yankees AAA). As referenced earlier, the WooSox are going to be pre-cautiously switching out their pitchers to rest arms in case the […]
The Aug. 31 'Heated Rivalry' promotion at Fenway Park celebrates a show featuring pro male pro athletes having a lot of sex with each other.
The good times kept rolling for the Yankees on Tuesday night, as they came from behind to beat Jacob deGrom on behalf of since-demoted rookie Elmer Rodríguez. They’ve won 15 of their last 17 games and would almost be running away with the AL East already if the Rays weren’t off to a scalding-hot start […]
Good morning! The Red Sox lineup absolutely rolled one of the best pitchers in the game last night, roughing up Framber Valdez so thoroughly that he got himself intentionally thrown out of the game. But was Valdez mad at his sub-par performance, or was he mad at something else? Last week, ESPN’s Buster Olney speculated […]
Well, friends, we certainly don’t need to talk about last night’s game against the Red Sox, but we also don’t have much good news to share in today’s news brief either. The Tigers reported on Monday that Tarik Skubal would be headed to the IL and would undergo surgery to remove loose bodies in his […]
Things have not gone well for the Detroit Tigers in the second half of their current homestand against the Boston Red Sox. On Tuesday night, de facto ace hurler Framber Valdez completely fell apart, coughing up 10 runs in three innings en route to a 10-3 loss. Now facing a possible sweep at home — […]
The Red Sox have won two-straight games against the Detroit Tigers. They sit at 15-21 and made the Tigers the only sub-.500 team to be leading a division. Brayan Bello pitched well — his first 7.0 inning performance since August 22, 2025 against the Yankees. Boston recorded 12 hits in the 10-3 drubbing of the […]
There are many, many reasons why baseball is the best game on Earth, but one of my favorites is its relentless ability to produce wildly unexpected results. Take tonight as a perfect example: This was as close to a guaranteed Red Sox loss on paper as you could get. You had (among other things): So […]
Top Red Sox prospect Franklin Arias has been named the Eastern League Player of the Month for April, Minor League Baseball announced on Tuesday. Arias put together a monster April with Double-A Portland to open his 2026 season. In 20 games for the Sea Dogs, the 20-year-old infielder went 27-for-72 (.375) at the plate with … Continue reading "Red Sox top prospect Franklin Arias named Eastern League Player of the Month for April"
The Tigers find themselves in a precarious position early in the season. They’ve lost two starters as Casey Mize and now Tarik Skubal are out of commission, and they just dropped the first game of the series to one of the most struggling teams in the AL. They needed to start winning, if only to […]
Go get ‘em, Jamo.

First, the good news. The Red Sox got a slew of cautiously optimistic injury updates this afternoon from Comerica Park in Detroit. First up, Roman Anthony: He won’t be available these last couple of games in Detroit, but in the grand scheme of things, this is far from the worst update we could have gotten […]

The Red Sox have promoted pitching prospect Dylan Brown from Low-A Salem to High-A Greenville, as was first reported by Chris Hatfield of SoxProspects.com. Brown, who turns 22 next month, was Boston’s eighth-round pick (238th overall) in last summer’s draft out of Old Dominion. The left-hander received an at-slot $229,000 signing bonus but did not … Continue reading "Red Sox promote pitching prospect Dylan Brown to High-A Greenville"
—The Louisville baseball team will try and snap a 4-game losing streak in tonight’s annual Battle of the Barrel game against rival Vanderbilt. The Cardinals have already put themselves in a position where their only path to the NCAA Tournament is to win the ACC Tournament. —Saturday’s Kentucky Derby was officially the most-watched in history. […]
Much has been made about the fact that the Red Sox lineup was essentially constructed around the belief that Roman Anthony, despite not yet hitting his 22nd birthday, would perform like one of the best hitters in the game this year. Suffice it to say, that hasn’t happened yet. Anthony is slashing just .229/.354/.321 (though […]
Michael Conforto has been an afterthought for most of this Cubs season. The team didn’t sign him until late February. He got some playing time early on because of the injury to Seiya Suzuki, but since Suzuki’s return April 10, Conforto has played in just 10 games, starting just four of those. He didn’t play […]
Good morning. MLB dot com’s Benjamin Rosenberg writes that the Texas Rangers are getting it done in relief without having a lot of strikeouts or flamethrowers. Matt Snyder writes that with Tarik Skubal out, the AL Cy Young race is wide open with Jacob deGrom among the new favorites. And, the DMN notes that former […]
If you go to the FanGraphs’ batting stats leaderboard, you’ll have to scroll for a while before you find a Red Sox player listed. If you keep scrolling, and then scroll a little bit more, and continue scrolling until your scrolling finger hurts, you’ll see that Boston has three of the bottom six qualifiers in […]
