Latest news and updates about the Red Sox
The first matchup of the Red Sox and Twins, in Minnesota, was memorable for two things: Garrett Crochet getting hit so hard he’d eventually land on the IL, and the big breakout (of 2026) for Connelly Early. As they flew home to host the Tigers, the Red Sox stood at a 7-11 record, the opposite […]
Rochester Red Wings 9, Worcester Red Sox 4 (BOX) The Woo Sox used up all of their firepower in the first inning on Thursday night against the Red Wings (WAS). Anthony Siegler’s three-run double, and Allan Castro’s RBI single gave Worcester a 4-0 lead after one, before Rochester got the final nine runs. Primarily a […]
Back in February, ZiPS projections were posted, and they did not have a single Red Sox player reaching the 20 home run threshold. Twitter/X got a hold of this and ran with it, becoming an easy talking point for those who felt that Craig Breslow’s offseason effort to fix the power in the lineup fell […]
Marcus Rashford has sent his thanks to Hansi Flick and Barcelona after being named in the England squad for World Cup 2026. The Manchester United loanee missed out on Euro 2024 with the Three Lions but is back in favor after a strong season at Camp Nou. He’s taken to Instagram after Thomas Tuchel named […]
The Red Sox are certainly not back yet, but at least the brand of baseball is improving. Boston swept the Kansas City Royals and finished a road trip (with multiple series) with a winning record for the first time this season. The Red Sox are 22-27 and keep creeping closer to .500, not that that […]

The Yankees initially decided to bring in Paul Goldschmidt ahead of the 2025 campaign to be their first baseman. Throughout the first couple months, the signing was a coup, as he hit a scalding .338/.394/.495 with a 148 wRC+. Plenty of folks in the Yankees’ orbit thought that he had found the Fountain of Youth. […]
After throwing two simulated innings yesterday in a bullpen session, injured Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet has declared himself free of the shoulder inflammation that landed him on the IL. That’s great! What’s less great is that he also declared that his mechanics are out of whack. Crochet will take a few days off, throw […]
For better, for worse, for discourse, we saw our first “piggyback” start Tuesday night. Bryce Miller, in his second appearance back from a stint on the IL, carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning versus the White Sox, looking much more 2024 than 2025. Castillo came in and gave two solid innings of relief before […]

Here’s a pair of conflicting thoughts I believe to my core: As a baseball fan, I don’t know how to feel about this. Baseball’s a sport that’s supposed to be about measuring greatness over 162 games, and it’s becoming less and less about that with each passing year. Personally, I find the addition of the […]
Worcester: L, 2-7 (F/11) (BOX SCORE) This game fell apart in extras, namely the eleventh, and to be honest, the WooSox should have had it won earlier than that. The pitching was solid throughout the night, starting with Jake Bennett striking out eleven Red Wings (Nationals AAA) and allowing one run. Bennett’s pitch count was […]
The Royals were swept at home by the Red Sox, they’ve lost 9 of their last 10 games now, writes Jaylon Thompson. “People are frustrated, sure,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. “I mean, we don’t come out here and lose games and walk away feeling good about it. “I mean, there’s no chance of that. […]
The Phillies finally had their streak of six straight series wins snapped yesterday with their loss in the rubber match with the Reds. Their turnaround since Don Mattingly took over as manager has been impressive, but they were bound to run into a dud of a series at some point. The important part will be […]

Salvador Perez got the Royals an early lead against Connelly Early by pulling the ball straight down the left field line and into the seats. Exiting the first, Kansas City was up 1 to 0. That lead did not last long. The top of the second was a long one for Michael Wacha. A leadoff […]
The Red Sox earned just their third win of the season when trailing after six innings. The rare clutch comeback helped Boston sweep the Kansas City Royals with a 4-3 victory. A quality start from Connelly Early and a late swing from a hot bat delivered the clincher. Here’s three takeaways from Wednesday’s series finale. […]
A scintillating starting pitching matchup is on tap in the Bronx tonight, as young phenoms Cam Schlittler and Trey Yesavage are supposed to go toe-to-toe. Both right-handers broke out late in 2025, with Schlittler earning a rotation spot down the stretch for the Yankees and then dominating the Red Sox in his playoff debut to […]
Stop me if you have heard this one before. The Royals are going into the game tonight looking to avoid getting swept. For the third series in a row, Kansas City is just hoping to salvage one win going into the third game. They cannot fix all of their problems in one game on a […]
TV: NESN First Pitch: 7:40 p.m. ET The Red Sox are officially out of last place in the American League East and search for their second sweep of the season. Boston earned wins behind solid starts from Sonny Gray and Ranger Suarez to start the series. On Wednesday night, Boston sends Connelly Early to the […]

If there was one player mentioned more than most this past offseason, it was Jarren Duran. As a trade candidate. The thinking was, supposedly, simple: too many outfielders Roman Anthony is set to be on the Red Sox forever. He’s a capable corner guy. There’s not a completing reason to move him to first base […]
