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...

The Red Sox’ less than impressive 2014 campaign has engendered quite a bit of roster turnover, as GM Ben Cherington has done his best to extract value from nearly every franchise piece that isn’t/wasn’t bolted down. Obviously, more moves could have been made,...

With the Red Sox out of contention this season, Thursday’s trade deadline was one of the most action-packed days in team history. Eight players from the opening day roster left the club in the month before the deadline. Here’s my ranking of the top five moves Ben...

The Toronto Blue Jays completed their 3 game sweep of the Red Sox on Wednesday night, winning by a final score of 6-1. Brandon Workman got the start for Boston in place of Jon Lester, while the veteran right-hander Mark Buehrle toed the rubber for the Blue Jays. For...

Enough has been said and written about Jon Lester’s contract negotiations with the Red Sox that there is no need to rehash here. The Red Sox, for their part, didn’t expect to be this bad in 2014, so they probably believed another season of contention would give them...

“Defeated” is an understatement for what the Toronto Blue Jays did to the Boston Red Sox on Monday night. In actuality, destroyed, embarrassed, or dismantled would be a more appropriate description of the beat-down that took place at Fenway Park. Melky...

The Boston Red Sox had an unsuccessful road trip with a 2-5 record against the Toronto Blue Jays and Tampa Bay Rays over the past seven days. The offense was stagnant at times after a 14-run outburst last Monday night at Rogers Centre. The pitching was pretty solid,...

After losing the first two games against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday and Saturday, the Red Sox were able to avoid the sweep by taking care of their division rivals on Sunday. Allen Webster started for Boston, and was constantly dancing into and out of trouble through...

Welcome back to the second edition of @firebrandal Tweet’s of the Week, which is a short series that we do every other week over here at Fire Brand of the American League. The last place 48-57 Boston Red Sox seem to have finally faced the reality that this...

With AL East ramifications on the line, the Red Sox began a 4 game series North of the boarder in the best way possible. Boston’s offense exploded against Toronto Blue Jays pitching, tallying 14 total runs on 18 hits. The Red Sox began their offensive onslaught...
