The arbitration tender deadline has come and gone, and unsurprisingly, many players were not tendered arbitration contracts they had the right to accept or reject. Also unsurprisingly, Boston offered arbitration to its two eligible players: Jason Bay and Billy Wagner....

Well, that was quick. After a slow couple weeks while we waited for the crowning of the new World Series Champion (who, sadly, were the New York Yankees), the MLB hot stove exploded in a flurry of moves including the trades of Jeremy Hermida and J.J. Hardy, the...

Jason Bay. Matt Holliday. Jason Bay. Matt Holliday. Matt Holliday. Jason Bay. Jason Bay. Matt Holliday. Matt Holliday. Jason Bay. Okay, let’s take a break from the two obvious left-fielder candidates and focus on other free agents that could be manning left...

Five teams…and I would be somewhat surprised if any of them won 90 games. But odds are someone comes very close to doing so. Cleveland Indians: By default, I choose the Indians. They have some serious question marks in their rotation. And they don’t...

Red Sox starting pitcher Julian Tavarez statistics aren’t of the all-star caliber variety but Tavarez is easily one of the most reliable pitchers on the staff. For a pitcher who has started and relieved for Boston this year, Tavarez (7-9), was much more than...

Note: I’ll be obsessively tracking the the moves by Theo made (if any) today throughout the day. As soon as I can get any shred of information that a deal is done, you can find that information right here at Fire Brand. Looking forward to a monumental day...

Last night was one of the more frustrating games of the Red Sox season. Fausto Carmona was dealing, mixing pitches with perfection and keeping our lineup off balance all night, and it almost seemed like a lost cause. The Sox were putrid last night against the Indians...
