In case you forgot, Jackie Bradley Jr. is still occupying a spot on the Red Sox 25-man roster. Since being recalled from triple-A Pawtucket on May 10th, the center fielder has appeared in 6 games, and has spent the bulk of his 2 week stay on the bench. Still at the...

While most of the Red Sox roster looks to be in order, there are still some questions that will need to be addressed as spring training gets underway. Perhaps the most interesting conundrum facing the team right now is their outfield depth. While Hanley Ramirez is a...

With Super Bowl weekend now upon us, the crack of the bat and the snap of the glove only get louder from here. Following the championship meeting between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots, Red Sox fans will have to wait just three short weeks before...

Ever since the Red Sox acquired Rick Porcello, Wade Miley, and Justin Masterson this offseason, general manager Ben Cherington has down played the team’s desire to acquire an ace. With high price tags on both the trade and free agent market’s, Boston...

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...
by domara | Jan 13, 2015 | Boston Red Sox, Daniel Nava, Grady Sizemore, Jackie Bradley Jr., Jon Lester, Jonny Gomes, Texas Rangers, Wade Miley
Yesterday, Rob Bradford of WEEI reported that Daniel Nava is thinking about abandoning switch hitting this season, and focusing exclusively on batting from the left-hand side. This isn’t a bad for Nava, who holds a career .209 batting average from the right-hand...

Amid all the craziness that has ensued this offseason, it’s pretty remarkable that the New York Yankees have been fairly quiet thus far. The typically free spending front office lead by Brian Cashman kept themselves out of the market for high price free agent...

Before the first pitch is thrown at JetBlue Park in March of 2015, the Boston Red Sox will need to figure out how their outfield will align. While Boston’s image for next year became clearer after last weeks Yoenis Cespedes-for-Rick Porcello swap, the team still...

First baseman/outfielder Allen Craig is perhaps the most interesting trade chip that the Boston Red Sox have left on their current roster. While the 30-year old’s 2014 numbers don’t seem to give him much trade value, Craig’s overall career stats seem...
by domara | Dec 3, 2014 | Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Daniel Nava, David Wells, Derek Lowe, Hanley Ramirez, Jeff Samardzija, Jon Lester, Junichi Tazawa, Matt Clement, Pedro Martinez, San Francisco Giants
Right now, the Boston Red Sox appear to be in holding pattern until free agent southpaw Jon Lester makes his final decision. While Boston’s reported offer of 6 years, $130M is a strong submission, the Chicago Cubs are currently the highest bidders while the San...
