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....

Well, that escalated quickly. News has come in this morning that the Boston Red Sox have traded starting pitcher Jon Lester & outfielder Jonny Gomes to the Oakland Athletics for outfielder Yoenis Cespedes and a 2015 competitive balance pick, blowing any notion of...

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...

For most of the first half of the season, Jackie Bradley Jr. was a superstar on defense, and the complete opposite on offense. The defense alone made him a valuable player and one to keep starting, since good defensive center fielders are slowly becoming more and more...
