The 2014 offseason is officially underway. The Red Sox don’t figure to be the big players in free agency this year that they were before the 2013 season, but depending on which players leave and which players stay, there will still be a few holes to fill. You’ll see...

It’s a new day, and no, there has still been no news on the Napoli contract front. The two sides are evidently still apart on a contract, and while the Red Sox front office continues to express optimism that the deal will get done, there’s still nothing more...

Having taken two of three from the Blue Jays, the still-in-last-place Boston Red Sox (66-81, 17.5 games back in the AL East) visit that soul-sucking slice of hell known as Tropicana Field to play the Tampa Bay Rays (78-68, 5 games back in the AL East, 4 games back in...
