Disclaimer: I’m trying something new this week. The original plan was to write about everybody’s favorite trade target – Felix Hernandez – and his new contract with Seattle. Then I read this piece of brilliance. I decided I’m going to put my own spin on that idea –...

Lots of news surrounding the Red Sox today. This is much better than the dog days of January, where the top news was who Will Middlebrooks was dissing on Twitter. The bullpen looks to be gaining respect in some baseball circles. If Daniel Bard & his slider come...

Hey there everyone! Thought I’d grace you all with some links beneath the digital tree on Christmas Eve. Feel free to open these presents right away! Oh man. This Joel Hanrahan trade business. I haven’t seen something this confusing since I tried reading...

The Boston Red Sox have a lot of issues to face this offseason, but none may be more significant that the question of what to do with Jacoby Ellsbury. The 29-year-old Center Fielder will be coming into his last year of team control in 2013, and with agent Scott Boras...

It’s trading deadline time, so that means questions abound about possible trade options; the Josh Beckett/Jon Lester conundrum; and concern over Carl Crawford‘s elbow. Let’s dive right in to the yummy goodness that is this week’s Cafardo...

With the trading deadline just 15 days away, I thought I’d take a few moments to examine the starting pitchers the Red Sox could be looking to acquire for the stretch run. Let’s jump right in! Felix Hernandez – Rrrrrr. LMFAO! That’s funny....

I’m not going to waste any time today. On to the mailbag! With Jon Lester not performing like the ace we expected, do you see the Sox making a bid for a proven ace? Zack Greinke or King Felix are the two I would love to see GM Ben Cherington pursue. I would be...

After taking two of three against the pesky Toronto Blue Jays, the Boston Red Sox (40-35) wing it to the West Coast to take on the foundering Seattle Mariners (32-45). The Mariners are 4-6 in their last 10 games, while the Red Sox are 8-2 in their last 10. The Sox are...

Lately, the question bouncing around Boston is whether the Red Sox should pack in the season and rebuild, or if they should go for it once more and try to make the playoffs. Given how the Sox have struggled to reach and stay over .500 and paired with the seeming lack...
