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...

Disclaimer: I’m trying something new this week. The original plan was to write about everybody’s favorite trade target – Felix Hernandez – and his new contract with Seattle. Then I read this piece of brilliance. I decided I’m going to put my own spin on that idea –...

Lots of news surrounding the Red Sox today. This is much better than the dog days of January, where the top news was who Will Middlebrooks was dissing on Twitter. The bullpen looks to be gaining respect in some baseball circles. If Daniel Bard & his slider come...

All people care about these days is money. No really – all you’re going to hear is arbitration news. I don’t know what I’d rather hear about: details of the old Mike Napoli negotiations or…this. At least on the Boston front, arbitration...

The Red Sox have a First Base Problem. Losing Adrian Gonzalez to the Dodgers has been well documented and a deal well made, but at this point Ben Cherington is trying to fill a James Loney sized hole at 1b. Mike Napoli looked an intriguing signing, and that may...

The Red Sox have been one of the most active teams in the league this offseason, signing free agents Shane Victorino, Stephen Drew, Ryan Dempster, Koji Uehara and Mike Napoli (deal still pending) and trading for closer Joel Hanrahan. The club also brought back John...

The Boston Red Sox have a lot of issues to face this offseason, but none may be more significant that the question of what to do with Jacoby Ellsbury. The 29-year-old Center Fielder will be coming into his last year of team control in 2013, and with agent Scott Boras...

After getting swept in yet another series, the Boston Red Sox (62-73, 15 games back in the AL East) finish up a terrible West Coast swing with three games against the Seattle Mariners (65-70, 15 games back in the AL West). Yes, you read that right: the Mariners are...

After being swept by the Angels, the Boston Red Sox (59-66, 13.5 games back in the AL East) lick their wounds and welcome the Kansas City Royals (55-68, 13 games back in the AL Central) to Fenway Park for a four-game series. The Red Sox have lost four in a row and are...
