The Red Sox Tuesday trade of catcher Dan Butler didn’t just tie up the loose ends of the Craig Breslow signing, but it also pushed Blake Swihart further up on the team’s depth chart. Swihart, 22, is considered the best prospect in Boston’s system and...

For the first time in 60 years, the Baseball Writers Association of America elected four new players to the Hall of Fame. In their first year on the ballot starting pitchers Pedro Martinez, Randy Johnson, and John Smoltz coasted into Cooperstown, while center fielder...

The Red Sox and the rest of major league baseball bid a fond farewell to Yankee’s Captain Derek Jeter over the weekend, as the 40-year old played the final series of his 20 year career. After Boston and New York split the first two games of the weekend series,...

For the third straight day the Red Sox lost to the Orioles, as Baltimore completed their three game sweep of Boston. After breezing through his first two innings, Red Sox starter Brandon Workman endured a six run third inning, and was promptly knocked out of the game....
