Not everything has gone smoothly for the Red Sox during their 3-5 start to the season. They’ve made some uncharacteristic mistakes in the field, lost a couple games thanks to a leaky bullpen, and—perhaps most frustrating of all—been woeful as a team at the...

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...

It was certainly a rough weekend in Red Sox Nation. Boston began their first home stand of the 2014 season with an inter-league series against the Milwaukee Brewers. But after collecting their 2013 World Series rings on Friday, it was all down hill from there. The Red...

After a MRI on his right calf early Sunday morning, Will Middlebrooks was immediately placed on the 15-day disabled list with a Grade 1 calf strain. The third baseman was originally scratched from Saturday’s lineup with calf cramps during pre-game warmups. As a...

Koji Uehara once again made it look very easy when he recorded his first save of 2014 as the Boston Red Sox wrapped up their first series win. The team also pounded out 14 hits. The way they won made it seem like the party from 2013 was carrying over to this year....

Jon Lester’s record may stand at 0-1 after his first start of the season, but don’t let that fool you—the left-hander was very much the same pitcher who helped lead the Red Sox to the World Series last October. In fact, the Red Sox themselves played much the same type...

After a MRI yesterday on his right hamstring, Shane Victorino just needed to pass an exam this morning in order to fly to Baltimore. There must have been no signs of improvement because he was placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to March 30, according to...

The Boston Red Sox are officially all set for Opening Day as Brandon Workman claimed the final spot in the bullpen yesterday as the team announced the 25-man roster. Workman struck out 16 batters during the spring and will likely remain on the squad until Craig...

Every month during the season, here on Fire Brand, I take a look at the relative value of the 25 players on the current active roster. The criteria for the power rankings: 1) What is the value of each player on the Red Sox roster relative to the other players? If a...
