Despite Andrew Miller’s dominance out of the bullpen, acquiring Eduardo Rodriguez at the trade deadline was a coup for the Red Sox. The Red Sox were a busy team prior to the 2014 trade deadline, making multiple deals in a flurry of activity as the clock ticked down on...

After splitting the first two games of the series, the Red Sox and Orioles played the rubber match of a 3 game set on Sunday. Right-hander Joe Kelly toed the rubber for the Red Sox in search of his second consecutive win. The 26-year old was opposed by Baltimore...

The Red Sox minor league season wrapped up this week, with five affiliates making the playoffs and two teams (The Pawtucket Red Sox and the Gulf Coast League Red Sox) winning championships. It was another tremendous year of development in the Red Sox minor league...

Fresh off their series win in Toronto, the Red Sox enjoyed an off day on Thursday. Boston will continue their road trip on Friday, with a 3 game set against the Tampa Bay Rays. Like the Red Sox, the Rays find themselves out of serious contention in the AL East, but...

If losing the game wasn’t bad enough, the Red Sox narrowly escaped being no-hit as well. In the fourth and final game of the series between the Red Sox and Angels, Los Angeles starter Matt Shoemaker took a no-hitter into the 7th inning, until a 2-out double by...

The Red Sox boast a minor league system stacked with talent close to major league ready. Players like Mookie Betts, Henry Owens and Blake Swihart are already familiar to most Sox fans. This season, however, has also seen the emergence of three talented teenagers....

The knee-jerk, hot-off-the-press answer, in my opinion, would be yes. Before anyone gets too angry, take a minute and think. Obviously, people want to remember the second-MLB start no-hitter, or the 2013 streak of best pitcher in the world. But I really don’t...

With the season effectively over, it sometimes feels pointless and futile to recapitulate the goings on of the team from day to day and week to week from here on out. It seems extraneous and irrelevant to analyze players’ performances if they are all for naught....

While the return of established MLB players grabbed the headlines during the Red Sox trade deadline activity, the club also added two new left-handed pitching prospects. Edwin Escobar and Eduardo Rodriguez join a Sox system suddenly stacked with lefty starting...
