Donning their green St. Patricks day jerseys, the Red Sox handily defeated the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday. Grady Sizemore stole the show, going 3-for-4, and making two outstanding defensive plays. While the battle for center field is the most intriguing roster...

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...

After an October to remember, it’s been a pretty quiet offseason for the Red Sox. Ben Cherington has made a few minor upgrades to help add depth to the team’s roster, but otherwise, the Red Sox appear content to move into 2014 with much the same core in place. From...

Brace yourselves, folks – we’re starting to drift into Best Shape Of His Life (BSOHL) territory. Who’s gonna be on that list? Hopefully a certain Domincan left-hander. The Red Sox offense may have lost a step, but it’s still a very potent...

We might see a little gold rush for free agents sometime soon, with Spring Training starting next month. This could be a fun little Hot Stove ride late in the offseason. Like clockwork, David Ortiz is rumbling about his contract again. Though it’s not a bad idea...

All it took was a little international signing action and the free agent dominoes start falling again. Who says the Hot Stove isn’t sizzling in January? After last season, most would say Jon Lester deserves an extension. Even he plans to play in Boston until...

The market is moving again! We aren’t stagnating! Things could happen and we might see reports on them! Rejoice, baseball fans, rejoice! Stuff could happen! Seems like the Red Sox’s interest in Stephen Drew was overblown. It’s looking more and more...
by bcowett | Jan 17, 2014 | 2014 Red Sox offseason, A.J. Pierzynski, Bob Tewksbury, Boston Red Sox, Burke Badenhop, Clayton Kershaw, Jon Lester, Mike Carp, Stephen Drew
All arbitration and no play makes me a dull boy. At least it’s giving the offseason some fire to rekindle that hot stove that froze over with that polar vortex. Despite Clayton Kershaw cashing in, it shouldn’t affect a Jon Lester extension in the...

Whelp, it’s the day when the Hall of Fame selections are announced. Prepare yourselves! Twitter is going to be full of heated arguments spanning the baseball world. Curt Schilling has a permanent spot in Red Sox lore. But it’ll be a bit of a struggle for...

Chances are that you’re in the 90% of the continent currently in the grip of an arctic cold front. Which leaves you plenty of time to see what’s happening! As long as your fingers are intact, of course. The Red Sox made their divisional rivals look silly...
