By now I imagine that we’re all pretty well versed in acquisitions that the Boston Red Sox have made so far this offseason, but they’re not the only team that has been busy in the American League East. The Toronto Blue Jays, who finished third in the...

A number of factors have led to the Red Sox’s offensive woes in 2014, most notably the club’s subpar outfield production and Boston’s inability to replace departed players such as Jacoby Ellsbury and Jarrod Saltalamacchia. But the middle of the Red Sox lineup hasn’t...

The Red Sox’s deep and potent offense was one of the hallmarks of the club’s World Series run in 2013. From the top of the order to the bottom, Boston boasted hitters who could do damage to the opposition and also work the count, making it a tough task for opposing...

The Red Sox and Stephen Drew coming to terms on a one-year deal on Tuesday was both unexpected and unsurprising. The news broke out of nowhere on an otherwise normal afternoon, but it also came in response to growing evidence that Ben Cherington needed to upgrade...

In the 2013 regular season the Red Sox committed 80 errors in 162 games. That total ranked them as the eight best team in the Majors and the fifth best in the American League (although strangely enough only fourth best in their own division behind Baltimore, Tampa...

The Red Sox met up with old pal Jarrod Saltalamacchia yesterday. Good thing none of the Red Sox regulars made the trip or things could have been emotional. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Rich Hill. In times like these, baseball just seems so insignificant. (Rich...

The 2004 Championship team was a result of a force of will. Backed into a 0-3 corner in the ALCS and decades of spectacular failure, the Idiots fought back and willed the Red Sox to their first championship in 86 years. 2007 Red Sox were a function of might making...

We just went through a week of backs to the wall. Boston is lovely this time of year — looking forward to coming back in a couple days. — Joe Maddon (@RaysJoeMaddon) October 6, 2013 Feel free to come back and catch an ALCS game from the stands, Joe! Wow, do I...

I frequent a bar on Commonwealth Ave. called Harry’s. Every Wednesday and Thursday, you’ll find Bob Davis, a charming middle-aged man who loves his IPAs just as much as his baseball. Bob attends the Arizona Fall League every October in order to escape the cold in New...

Red Sox GM Ben Cherington entered the 2012-2013 offseason with an open mind and an open checkbook. After a disastrous 2012 campaign that resulted in 69 wins and the salary dump to end all salary dumps, Cherington finally got the keys to the car to spend the money...
