According to Danny Knobler of CBS Sportsline, the Red Sox are deep into negotiations with the Chicago White Sox to acquire former starting shortstop Juan Uribe. Uribe, 29, is wrapping up a one-year deal worth $4.5 million. He is hitting .225/.273/.364 on the season...

When Julio Lugo went down, it was almost as if an audible sigh of relief was heard across New England. No one, well most people at least, wouldn’t wish an injury on someone. But this was one that people weren’t broken-hearted over. Add to that the .310...

May saw the Red Sox go 17-12 and a concerning trend arise: road struggles. Three straight wins in Baltimore seem to be the cure, but can the Red Sox keep up with the Tampa Bay Rays? The Rays are one behind the Chicago Cubs for the best MLB record, and a crucial three...

Billy Beane has been quoted saying that the first two months show you what you have, the next two are spent acquiring what you need and the final two is the playoff push (if applicable). Dan Duquette, a man before his time (remember Mike Gimbel?), also subscribed to...

Another season, another Month to Month! The Red Sox got off to a pretty good start. There’s been a ton of storylines so far this month, but for the most part, the team has come hot out of the gates, proving that perhaps they weren’t overrated after all....

The Red Sox plan to place Alex Cora on the disabled list today because of an elbow injury he got during pregame practice last Thursday. He will be undergoing an MRI in the next couple of days and may be out for a long time. With Mike Lowell also on the shelf, the Sox...

Mike Lowell has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained ligament in his left hand, which he injured on the first play of last night’s game. He’s not expected to miss more than the 15 days, but the injury has been known to knock people out...

You guessed it — we’re picking the Red Sox to repeat as American League East Division Champions. Coming off a World Series, the Red Sox will look to repeat and make it three titles in five years (shades of the Patriots). The Red Sox have a strong team...

Last week I started looking at the potential of the 2008 Boston Red Sox by comparing them to the 2007 World Series Champions. We began by looking at the infield of Youkilis, Pedroia, Lugo, and Lowell, it appears that we should expect alot of the same. There will be...
