Dear Evan and Chip, Hi, it’s Scott. I know I haven’t written a lot lately, and I’ve been incommunicado. On the latter, I’m on vacation in San Francisco (I know, I should have told you) but I’m writing anyway because, well, I’m...

Can we back up the John Farrell express for just a minute here? Word broke over the past few days that the Boston Red Sox have opened talks with the Toronto Blue Jays to work out potential compensation that would allow them to bring Farrell to Boston to be their new...

After losing two of three to the soaring Orioles, the Boston Red Sox (58-61, 12.5 games back in the AL East) drag their sorry butts to the Bronx for a three-game expected thrashing series with the New York Yankees (70-48, 6 games ahead in the AL East). The Yankees are...

It’s always easy to throw stones when things are going bad, but perhaps this might be the best time to ask if ownership has reached a breaking point. The leadership group headed by John Henry has to be commended for bringing Boston two World Series wins, but...

The Boston Red Sox are clearly a “have” organization in Major League Baseball. Being a “have” however doesn’t mean that you can literally “have” whatever your heart desires or that you “have” no budget or...

With the team sitting a game below .500 in the second half of May (the latest they’ve been there since the dark September of 2001), it’s almost time to admit the obvious: this is likely not a playoff team. Yes, I know it’s still technically early. I...

Sure, this is a Red Sox site, not a Patriots one. But, we would be remiss if we ignored the lessons of the greater Boston sports community for lack of a baseball diamond. Whether or not you agree with Belichick’s 4th and 2 call is irrelevant. The interesting part of...

Earlier today for MVN Outsider, I commented on the poor economy and how the Arizona Diamondbacks are taking steps to ensure that the consumer can still afford to go to a game while clubs such as our beloved Red Sox are content to squeeze us out of every last dollar....
