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...

From top to bottom, no team went through quite as many changes as the Tampa Bay Rays have this offseason. The teams first casualty came during the MLB Playoffs, when Rays general manager Andrew Friedman announced that he was leaving Tampa Bay and joining the L.A....

Joe Maddon’s sudden departure from the Tampa Bay Rays last week caught all of major league baseball by surprise. With a manager considered one of the best in baseball a free agent, teams around the league had to take a long look at their incumbent manager. GM Ben...

The Boston Red Sox are nine games behind the AL East-leading Toronto Blue Jays and have really been underachieving most of the 2014 season. After a 1-5 mark over the past week, the team needs to right the ship fast as the record for the season is 28-34 through 62...

Our Red Sox heroes haven’t always left gracefully. In fact, one negative trend during the tenure of the current owners has been the disgruntled departures of many of the players and front office staff. For every Jason Varitek and Tim Wakefield, there has been a Johnny...

It’s MLB’s award season. Great time for debates, quarrels and confrontations about what guy should win and what stats Brian Kenny says we should use. Have fun! In the end, a skipper that came from Boston won. Terry Francona was voted in as the AL Manager...

Much has been made of the complete overhaul the Red Sox underwent in the offseason. Multiple players were brought in, changing the entire culture of the team. Perhaps more importantly, the front office claimed a familiar face to lead the team. John Farrell’s...

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,...
