The Boston Red Sox have completed the framework of a deal with the Minnesota Twins that will send Johan Santana from the Twins to the Red Sox for Coco Crisp, Jon Lester, Justin Masterson, Jed Lowrie and Ryan Kalish. This information comes from KNBR via devoted Red Sox...

The negotiations: It’s been an interesting off-season so far. It hasn’t been hectic like past off-seasons, but it’s nigh early. Thanksgiving has passed, and a chance to go dine with a player’s family for Thanksgiving has as well (but...

Well, the Red Sox made a free agent move today (no, not Alex Rodriguez, folks) and made their arbitration tenders and nontenders. And they are… Red Sox sign Jon Van Every. Every hit .344/.416/.583 in 151 at-bats for AA Akron (Cleveland). He went up the ladder to...

Yes. It’s looking real. ESPN says so. TwinCities.com says so. The Boston Herald says so. And our own Transaction Guy is chronicling the process. Looks like it’s Coco Crisp, Jon Lester, Jed Lowrie and either Justin Masterson or Michael Bowden....

Mike Lowell is coming back and now the Boston Red Sox are virtually the same team they were last year. Sign my personal favorite player in Mike Timlin and I will be content. I was never content with the decisions made after the Red Sox won the World Series in...

Could the Red Sox be hunting for a replacement for Mike Lowell using Coco Crisp as the solution? Some news came out yesterday saying that the San Diego Padres were interested in Crisp to plug their centerfield vacancy with Mike Cameron departing via free agency....

Some breaking news: Tim Wakefield will not be on the World Series roster. Apparently, his back/shoulder issues are too out of hand. It’s unknown who he will be replaced with, but Jon Lester will probably step in the rotation. This may open up a spot for Julian...

What a totally satisfying series. What truly made it great, and will indeed define it down the road as memorable, is that there was a moment of absolute despair. Just like the 2004 ALCS, there was a moment where I couldn’t think of a way out. That was in game...

Man, another game for the ages from Josh Beckett. His performance has been truly astounding. Last night’s eight innings pitched, eleven strikeouts, one walk and one earned run on five hits simply added to what was already an impressive postseason resume. If the...

In 2004, Terry Francona pushed all the right buttons. In 2007, Terry Francona’s trying to make the buttons he’s pushing right. That’s the difference, and that’s why the Red Sox stand at a 3-1 series deficit going into Wednesday’s...
