The Boston Red Sox made some more cuts on Sunday before the contest against the Tampa Bay Rays. Pitchers Rich Hill, Dalier Hinojosa and John Ely were all reassigned to minor league camp. Dan Butler, a catcher, was optioned to Pawtucket. Jose Mijares was outright...

While the Red Sox lost games on Saturday and Sunday, the weekend actually wrapped up on a good note. Reports surfaced that the Red Sox and David Ortiz agreed to a one year, $16 million extension that includes vesting options in ’16 and ’17. After...

It was a quiet day down in Fort Myers on Wednesday. The defending world champs enjoyed their first off day of the spring, which left us with nothing to do… Baseball wasn’t completely on hold on Wednesday. Felix Doubront pitched in a minor league game...

The Red Sox met up with old pal Jarrod Saltalamacchia yesterday. Good thing none of the Red Sox regulars made the trip or things could have been emotional. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Rich Hill. In times like these, baseball just seems so insignificant. (Rich...

The Super Bowl is over! Pitchers and catchers report in just a few days! Baseball season is getting ever so close! Exclamation points! Yelling and cheering! Wooo! David Ortiz and the Red Sox can talk about their mutual respect for one another all they want, but in the...

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,...

Having swept the Rays, the Boston Red Sox (8-4, leading the AL East by 1.5 games) travel to the southern shore of Lake Erie to take on the Cleveland Indians (5-6, third place in the AL Central, 1.5 games back) in a three-game series. This will be the first time this...

I’ve been lied to a lot in my life. But what Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington pulled off this week may be a set up for one of the bigger lies I’ve ever heard. At a sports management conference at UMass-Amherst this week, Cherington said that despite...

As Ben Cherington begins the unenviable, yet extraordinarily challenging, task of rebuilding the Boston Red Sox, he’ll be faced with a number of roster decisions over the next few months. Still, before he can even begin to think about making trades or signing...

The Red Sox may have the ignominy of losing over 90 games for the first time since 1966, but one thing that’s gone right is the bullpen. Over the last decade, the 2012 Red Sox boast the third-best bullpen, behind only 2011 (3.67 ERA) and 2007 (3.10). The 3.77...
