If I was a betting man, I’d say that we’re in for a very active week on the MLB hot stove. With the General Managers meetings now in the rear view mirror, teams can use the information they gathered last week to begin to put their offseason plans into...

Wednesday marked the final day of the General Managers meetings in Arizona. While the Red Sox didn’t make any trades or free agent signings, the Sox brass did do a lot of tire-kicking. Over the course of the three day meeting, we heard Boston connected to big...

I might be the last Red Sox fan to concede defeat on a season, but after seeing the Red Sox get swept in 3 games by the lowly Chicago Cubs I’m strongly considering throwing in the towel. The pessimist — or perhaps realist — in me, sees the Red Sox...

After dropping the first 2 games of the series on Monday and Tuesday, the Red Sox tried to salvage the third and final game against the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night. Boston sent right-handed rookie Brandon Workman to the mound in search of his second win, while the...

After nearly being no-hit by Jake Arrieta on Monday night, the Red Sox and Cubs met for the second game of their 3 game set on Tuesday. Boston sent Clay Buchholz to the mound for his second start since returning from the disabled list in late June. The tall righty...

If losing the first game of the series against the Cubs wasn’t bad enough, the Red Sox were nearly no-hit by Chicago’s starter Jake Arrieta on Monday night. The Cubs right-hander was just 4 outs away from tossing the teams first no-hitter in 6 years,...

It’s not a secret that the Red Sox have been taking on water ever since they touted a 20-19 record on May 14th. Even though a lot of blame has been placed on injuries, the sheer ineptitude of some players has been just as much of a culprit. Sure, you can point...

The Boston Red Sox signed some additional infield help on Monday with the right-handed Ryan Roberts inking a deal. Roberts opted out of a deal with the Chicago Cubs on March 27 and the Red Sox needed some infield help with Will Middlebrooks ending up on the DL this...

This column came from a Tweet from fellow Fire Brand columnist Timothy Brooks: Pawtucket’s potential rotation of Webster, Workman, De La Rosa, Barnes, and Ranaudo is better than some major league rotations. #redsox — Timothy Brooks (@pastortimbrooks) February...

The Cubs took another big step in their lengthy rebuilding plan yesterday, reportedly signing first baseman Anthony Rizzo to a seven-year, $41 million extension that could keep the 23-year-old in Chicago blue until 2021. While there is of course some risk involved for...
