The Red Sox will recall Aaron Cook from Pawtucket in the next couple of days, Rob Bradford reports on Twitter. Cook will pitch out of the bullpen after Boston rejected trade offers from several teams. (UPDATE: Cook’s first appearance will be as a starter; Josh...

So…Will Middlebrooks. It’s impossible to talk about anything involving the Red Sox’ minor league clubs without Middlebrooks’ name entering the discussion. (See Mike Scandura’s profile of Middlebrooks, written yesterday.) He’s destroying Triple-A pitching...

Unlike some years, Pawtucket isn’t a place where Boston stocks the team with a bunch of career minor leaguers. Granted, there’s a sprinkling of veterans on the pitching staff. But at the minimum, the 2012 PawSox have at least six players who are considered legitimate...

It’s probably safe to say that few Red Sox fans are thrilled with current shortstop situation. I’ll admit it. It’s underwhelming, meh, milquetoast. Seriously. Mike Aviles? Nick Punto? Jose Iglesias? Thinking about it subjectively, it almost...

The last few days have been pretty busy here in Red Sox Nation. Ben Cherington and his front office compatriots are slowly but surely shaping the roster into a club that should be able to win 90-95 games in 2012. In order to stay on top of all of the recent...

It sounds weird to say that the Sox have made a move in order to clear salary, but that’s essentially what they did on Saturday when they sent their former starting shortstop, Marco Scutaro, to the Colorado Rockies for 26-year-old righthander Clayton Mortensen....
