The Red Sox made a huge acquisition this week, winning the bidding war for talented Cuban prospect Yoan Moncada. We won’t see Moncada in Boston right away, because he’s still very young and will need some time in the minors to adjust to the US. He’s such an exciting...

While no Red Sox rookie has truly captured a rotation spot on next years team, Anthony Ranaudo left a good final impression in his last start of the 2014 season. After the Rays tallied two first inning runs against the right-hander, Ranaudo settled down and went on to...

It’s not entirely clear if this has been adequately reported or not, but John Lackey is signed for 2015 at the staggering rate of $500,000 (major league minimum) because he his contract stipulated just that were he to miss time significant due to injury. Oh, you...

The first half of the Red Sox season proved to be a bumpier ride than just about anyone could have predicted, leaving Boston in an uncertain situation as the trade deadline approaches at the end of July. With Tuesday’s All-Star Game now in the past and the second half...

A deep farm system is a good problem to have, but it still causes problems that will eventually need to be solved by the front office. For example, the Boston Red Sox, heading into the all star break, have been fielding three natural second basemen in their lineups...

The release of A.J. Pierzynski on Wednesday marked a turning point for the Red Sox this season. The youth movement has started in earnest, with the club starting five rookies on Wednesday night. As Alex Skillin wrote earlier this week, more moves should be on the way...

It has been 10 days since the Boston Red Sox signed Stephen Drew to the one-year contract, but he was called up Monday and was in the starting lineup at shortstop. The 31-year-old struggled with Triple-A Pawtucket as he went 2-for-13 with five strikeouts with one...

The Boston Red Sox are now 27-29 on the season after a perfect 7-0 week. The win on Monday ended a 10-game losing streak in which the Red Sox pitching was subpar and the hitting with runners in scoring position barely happened. Over the past week, the Red Sox pitching...

The Red Sox kept their winning streak alive over the weekend after sweeping a three game set against the Tampa Bay Rays. To kick off the series, the two division rivals nearly came to blows after David Price hit David Ortiz in the first inning and Mike Carp in the...

Everyone loves Mookie Betts, myself included. But everyone has also been very quick to point out Betts’ apparently ‘blocked’ path to the Major Leagues. Most Boston fans probably love Dustin Pedroia just a little bit more and they know that...
