Enough has been said and written about Jon Lester’s contract negotiations with the Red Sox that there is no need to rehash here. The Red Sox, for their part, didn’t expect to be this bad in 2014, so they probably believed another season of contention would give them...

After Monday’s loss against the Cleveland Indians snapped the Red Sox 7 game win streak, Boston sought to even up the series in Cleveland on Tuesday. Red Sox right-hander Jake Peavy took the mound for Boston and struggled early, allowing hits to the first 5...

Not sure if you’ve noticed, but the Red Sox have undergone a tremendous amount of change over the past few years. Sure, some mainstays like David Ortiz, Dustin Pedroia, Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz and Jacoby Ellsbury have defined the core of this team. Yet by my count,...

Sometimes I wonder why Felix Doubront isn’t held in higher regard among Red Sox fans, but then again, I’m not that surprised. After all, Doubront was signed as an international free agent in 2004 at the age of 16 – during a period in time where the Red Sox farm system...

Written by Chip Buck, Ben Carsley, and Josh Cookson The Red Sox farm system is in the midst of a very exciting upswing. In large part due to two very successful drafts in 2010 and 2011, the minor league ranks have returned to prominence as one of the best and...

After spending a rousing afternoon playing shuffleboard, I kicked back poolside over champagne coolies with my archrival and BFF, Murray Chass, and waxed about our days writing about the game of baseball. He expressed how his deep seeded irrational fear of back acne...
