The 2014 offseason is officially underway. The Red Sox don’t figure to be the big players in free agency this year that they were before the 2013 season, but depending on which players leave and which players stay, there will still be a few holes to fill. You’ll see...

Here’s a sad thing: this column will be posted on the final day of the regular season for the Boston Red Sox. That’s right, 162 games are about to be in the books. Soon, it’ll be time for playoff talk (and an extra-special Playoff TrollBag next week), but before we...

Last Friday night, the Red Sox earned their 94th win in 155 games played, with the last out fittingly coming on a Koji Uehara strikeout. The win sealed the first division title for the Red Sox since 2007, and their seventh AL East title since the division was formed...

After earning a series win in the Bronx, the Boston Red Sox (2-1, tied for first in the AL East) go to the Great White North to take on the new-look Toronto Blue Jays (1-2, tied for third in the AL East). In Toronto, you definitely can’t tell your players...

If you know what that title is from, then you most likely know what begins in two months. And you’re probably pretty awesome too. It’s a real shame this guy is moving on from the Red Sox. Your reigning Fire Brand of the Year, Scott Atchison, has signed...

Does anyone else look up highlights on MLB.com to get your baseball fix? Or is that just me? Because home run highlights are pretty awesome. That, and whatever Mike Trout does. We hear nothing out of the Sox for weeks, and then Terry Francona fires a shot over the...

We are in the middle of inter-league play. Manny Ramirez and the Dodgers are coming to Boston. It is going to be an exciting weekend, but the last series with the Diamondbacks does not get circled on any fan’s schedule in January nor does the All-Star Game...

This will be the fourteenth season of interleague play in the Major Leagues. Perhaps the most controversial of Bud Selig’s innovations, interleague has had a good run with some wonderful moments, but it has also produced some head-scratching matchups,...

As the advent of spring training games are upon us, I thought I’d kick off everyone’s favorite little exercise by providing my own personal predictions as to how I think the season will shake out. Now, before I do so, a word of caution: predictions can...
