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...

I assume at least some of you know about the Free Agent Frenzy — a game that MLB.com rolls out where you predict where 15 top free agents sign and the confidence level you have of that. You get Opening Day tickets if you win. Here’s my ballot: Bobby Abreu...

Editor’s Note: Sorry this post is late, got caught in a central Pennsylvania snowstorm on the way home from Philadelphia last night. Costello: Well then who’s on first? Abbott: Yes. Costello: I mean the fellow’s name. Abbott: Who. Costello: The guy...

Last night was one of the more frustrating games of the Red Sox season. Fausto Carmona was dealing, mixing pitches with perfection and keeping our lineup off balance all night, and it almost seemed like a lost cause. The Sox were putrid last night against the Indians...
