The big news from Fort Myers on Tuesday? Dustin Pedroia shaved his beard. They’re keeping busy down there in Florida, for sure. Spring training: The only time that Clay Buchholz can pitch a one inning, ineffective start and use “jitters” as a...

Something of note: there will be a ton of Spring Training games broadcasted this year, and not just by ESPN. Looks to me like baseball is on the rise again. He says he’ll give a hometown discount, but what does Jon Lester mean by that? Just a few million off per...

Two weeks ago, I started out a new series taking a look at the projections for the Red Sox going into 2014 by taking a look at the most notable position players on the roster. Well, we’re doing more of the same this week, as it’s time to take a look at the starting...

Truck Day has come and gone, there’s players doing baseball things in Ft. Myers, and it’s a balmy 75 degrees here in Arizona. Baseball is pretty much everywhere. While not facing the multitude of issues that plagues the majority of the league, the Red Sox...

Ah, the offseason. A time for all 30 teams (or at least 26-or-so teams) to regain optimism. A time for rumors, whispers and arguments galore. A time for rampant #rosturbation, for MLB Trade Rumors, for @BadMLB and for Nick Cafardo’s trade ideas. We don’t all admit...
