From top to bottom, no team went through quite as many changes as the Tampa Bay Rays have this offseason. The teams first casualty came during the MLB Playoffs, when Rays general manager Andrew Friedman announced that he was leaving Tampa Bay and joining the L.A....

The Red Sox have assembled one of the best collections of catchers in all of baseball. And if you think that speaks to the paucity of passable backstops in the game as much as it does Boston’s roster construction, you’re right. As you all know, the Red Sox currently...

Um, ouch. Jason Varitek hits the disabled list and will be out for six weeks. This means the next nine games require Kevin Cash and Gustavo Molina behind the dish. Oh, ye injury gods. Have you no...

Yesterday, Pat discussed what the Jason Varitek signing means for the backup catcher position. Today, I look at the man himself, Jason Varitek. What does the return of Varitek mean for the club? Does it mean “more of the same?” No, I don’t think it...

Buster Olney had a chat up today with two interesting tidbits… Heard this informed speculation this morning — Beckett, Lester, Matsuzaka, Byrd in Games 1-7. It’s hard to start Wakefield against the Rays because they run so well. This is a pretty...

July was certainly a month of change… none more so than the end of the month. Manny Ramirez long overstayed his welcome in Boston, and he was long due to move on to (in his opinion) greener pastures. Let’s take a glance back at the month that was… To...

A 16-11 swing has left the Sox in second place to start July, behind the surprising Tampa Bay Rays. Today comes the hated, the vaunted meek New York Yankees. Let’s kick butt and take names! Let’s take a glance back at the month that was… To the Fire...
