It’s been a while since the Red Sox last had a player hit for the cycle. A long while. Before Brock Holt accomplished the feat during yesterday’s 9-4 win over the Atlanta Braves, John Valentin’s 1996 cycle was the last in Boston history. For the last...

After being snubbed two seasons in a row, Mike Trout was finally named American League Most Valuable Player for the 2014 campaign. The 22-year old New Jersey native posted a .287/.377/.561 slash and collected 111 RBI and 36 home runs in 157 games for the Anaheim...

Outside of Boston’s need for an upgrade at third base, the team must upgrade their starting rotation as well. After gutting their entire rotation at the trade deadline last season, Boston now has gaping holes with no obvious fit in mind. The good news is that...

It was a disappointing season for the Red Sox, but over a long 162 game season there are always highlights. Home runs in particular are always exciting, and fans still dig the longball. Here are the five longest home runs the Red Sox hit this season. Honorable...

It has been clear for some time now that the Red Sox wouldn’t make the postseason. They were officially eliminated this month, and now the playoffs are almost here. So what teams should Red Sox fans support this postseason? The obvious villains (Yankees and Rays) will...

The Red Sox defeated the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim over the weekend, and claimed their first series win since sweeping the Kansas City Royals in late July. Allen Webster took the mound for the Red Sox on Friday, and was much better than he was in his previous...

Thankfully, April is over (although May has been far from kind to us so far). The Red Sox ended the opening month of the 2014 season with a sub .500 record at 13-14. Now, the team that came into this season wanting to “Turn the Page” is heading into a new...

We’ve finally reached MLB Opening Day, and I’m sure you all are just as excited as I am that those ESPN score update texts finally count now, instead of being just a tease like they were in Spring Training. For this week’s column, I’m just...

“Prospects will break your heart.” All credit to Jason Parks of Baseball Prospectus for that phrase, but in the wake of Kolbrin Vitek‘s retirement, I couldn’t find any one more fitting. For anyone that missed it, Vitek, Boston’s...

Something of note: there will be a ton of Spring Training games broadcasted this year, and not just by ESPN. Looks to me like baseball is on the rise again. He says he’ll give a hometown discount, but what does Jon Lester mean by that? Just a few million off per...
