For the second straight night, the Red Sox were propelled to a victory on the strength of a Yoenis Cespedes 8th inning home run. However, unlike his tie-breaking home run on Sunday, Cespedes’ blast on Tuesday night came with the Red Sox trailing by a run. Brock...

The Boston Red Sox struggled at home this week with a 1-5 homestand and are now 14 games behind the AL East leading Baltimore Orioles. However, the team did not improve in one category this week: offense. The team has been able to score runs the last three games post...

The Boston Red Sox had five open spaces after trading away pieces on Thursday prior to Friday’s contest at Fenway Park against the New York Yankees, but the team did a couple extra moves to make sure even more players could get on the team. The Red Sox placed...

Enough has been said and written about Jon Lester’s contract negotiations with the Red Sox that there is no need to rehash here. The Red Sox, for their part, didn’t expect to be this bad in 2014, so they probably believed another season of contention would give them...

The first half of the Red Sox season proved to be a bumpier ride than just about anyone could have predicted, leaving Boston in an uncertain situation as the trade deadline approaches at the end of July. With Tuesday’s All-Star Game now in the past and the second half...

The release of A.J. Pierzynski on Wednesday marked a turning point for the Red Sox this season. The youth movement has started in earnest, with the club starting five rookies on Wednesday night. As Alex Skillin wrote earlier this week, more moves should be on the way...

Most youngsters who grew up in the late 1990s were inclined to watch television shows like Pokeman, SpongeBob Square Pants or Power Rangers. That wasn’t the case with Pawtucket Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez. When Vazquez turned on the TV set in his hometown of...
