When the trade that sent John Lackey to the St. Louis Cardinals was made, most people weren’t sure what to think. In general, people liked Allen Craig but had nothing to think of for Joe Kelly. Granted, fans expected someone like Shelby Miller and his 5...

With the Red Sox out of contention this season, Thursday’s trade deadline was one of the most action-packed days in team history. Eight players from the opening day roster left the club in the month before the deadline. Here’s my ranking of the top five moves Ben...

The Boston Red Sox had an unsuccessful road trip with a 2-5 record against the Toronto Blue Jays and Tampa Bay Rays over the past seven days. The offense was stagnant at times after a 14-run outburst last Monday night at Rogers Centre. The pitching was pretty solid,...

The Boston Red Sox agreed on a deal that will send pitcher Jake Peavy to the San Francisco Giants for a pair of pitching prospects out of the Triple-A affiliate for the Giants, lefty Edwin Escobar and right-handed reliever Heath Hembree. Both teams will split the...

The Red Sox snapped their 6 game winning streak with a 7-3 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night. In what could be his last start as a Red Sox, Jake Peavy pitched 5 effective innings before watching the wheels come off in the 6th and 7th. As has been the case...

I was a little worried that Jake Peavy was going to be traded this week, thus making my post somewhat irrelevant. Thankfully, he wasn’t. I imagine he will be soon, so perhaps this will serve as our “In Memoriam,” so to speak. On to the...

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...

The White Sox ensured at least a 4 game series split on Tuesday night, as they defeated the Red Sox for the second consecutive game. Brandon Workman toed the rubber for the Red Sox and was touched up for 3 runs in the early innings, courtesy of a fielding error by...

It has become painfully obvious in the last two weeks that the Red Sox are going nowhere in 2014. The club’s offense has scuffled all season long, and with summer no longer a novelty, these struggles have quickly grown from what appeared to be a passing fluke to cold,...

I last saw Jake Peavy pitch, live and in person, nearly seven years ago. Paradoxically, I remember it vividly, yet vaguely. More accurately, there are elements of the game I remember with clarity, but on the whole, it’s mostly a haze in my mind. I remember it being...
