After a horrible 2-5 road trip, capped off by a sweep at the hands of the Oakland Athletics, the Boston Red Sox (42-40, 7.5 games back) return to Fenway Park to host a four-game series against those damn New York Yankees (49-32, first place). The Yanks are 6-4 in...

I’m not going to waste any time today. On to the mailbag! With Jon Lester not performing like the ace we expected, do you see the Sox making a bid for a proven ace? Zack Greinke or King Felix are the two I would love to see GM Ben Cherington pursue. I would be...

The Red Sox have some decisions to make with their starting rotation in the coming weeks. For one, Clay Buchholz will be rejoining the rotation shortly, which will bump one of Aaron Cook or Franklin Morales back to the bullpen. Additionally, Daisuke Matsuzaka,...

Having earned a split against the surprisingly tough Seattle Mariners, the Boston Red Sox (42-37, 6-4 in the last 10 games) travel to Oakland for a three-game set against the Athletics (38-42, 4-6 in the last 10 games). Billy Beane has always loved young pitchers and...

What happens when a three or four inning spot start turns into 11 solid innings over two games—do you keep the guy in the rotation, even when it starts getting crowded again? That’s the question in Boston at the moment, with Franklin Morales taking two...

After taking two of three from the Atlanta Braves and closing out the interleague portion of the season schedule, the Boston Red Sox (38-34) welcome the Toronto Blue Jays (37-35) to Fenway Park for a three-game skein. Toronto’s starting pitching has been...

Lately, the question bouncing around Boston is whether the Red Sox should pack in the season and rebuild, or if they should go for it once more and try to make the playoffs. Given how the Sox have struggled to reach and stay over .500 and paired with the seeming lack...
