Jacoby Ellsbury, Koji Uehara, Stephen Drew, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Mike Napoli and Joel Hanrahan. You have just read an exhaustive list of Red Sox players who will become free agents after the 2013 season. Two additional players – Jon Lester and Matt Thornton – have...

Throughout the past decade, the third base position in Boston has been plentifully occupied with gritty, hard workers like Bill Mueller, Kevin Youkilis, and Mike Lowell, who helped the Red Sox reach new heights. Fast forward to 2013 and the position is a glaring weak...

When I first set out to write this column on Sunday, my idea was pretty simple: highlight which Red Sox prospects have done the most to improve their value in 2013, as well as those who’ve taken major steps back in their development. Filling out the first part of the...

This is a road trip the Red Sox will be glad to go on. Three against Houston & Toronto, with a series in Kansas City too? Yes please. Felix Doubront is just getting better and better as the season goes on. On Sunday, he blanked the Diamondbacks for seven masterful...
