The Boston Red Sox started off an 8-game road trip with a series loss to the St. Louis Cardinals before nearly sweeping the Los Angeles Angels over the weekend. With only two games left before heading back to the confines of Fenway Park, the Red Sox look like a team...

After collecting their first series since mid-July, the Red Sox will finish their road trip with a brief two game stop in Cincinnati on Tuesday. Joe Kelly will take the mound for the second time as a member of the Red Sox, while the Reds are scheduled to throw...

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....

The Boston Red Sox struggled at home this week with a 1-5 homestand and are now 14 games behind the AL East leading Baltimore Orioles. However, the team did not improve in one category this week: offense. The team has been able to score runs the last three games post...

The Boston Red Sox had five open spaces after trading away pieces on Thursday prior to Friday’s contest at Fenway Park against the New York Yankees, but the team did a couple extra moves to make sure even more players could get on the team. The Red Sox placed...

Presumably, you’ve all heard by now that John Lackey was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals (along with prospect Corey Littrell) for OF Allen Craig and RHP Joe Kelly. Most pundits and analysts seem to view the trade favorably and consider it a “win” for both sides....
