What seemed like a normal, mid-August night at Fenway Park was quickly turned on its head on Wednesday. As the Red Sox were finishing up a tidy 9-1 win over the Cleveland Indians, FOX Sport’s Ken Rosenthal dropped two twitter bombs of epic proportions: #RedSox...

Mike Napoli’s departure from the Red Sox wasn’t something that blind-sided fans in Boston, but trying to pin-point exactly who would succeed the 33-year old was something of an mind bender for fans and media alike Following the trade that sent Napoli back...

The flaws with the MLB All-Star game have been well documented over the years. The seemingly unanswerable question of “why does an exhibition game dictate home field advantage in the World Series?” always pops up without fail. In the same breath,...

The “Prospects To Know” series continues this week with the Red Sox corner infield prospects to watch in 2015. Garin Cecchini 2014 was a season of highs and lows for Cecchini. He made his major league debut on June 1st this year, collecting his first hit in the majors...

It’s not entirely clear if this has been adequately reported or not, but John Lackey is signed for 2015 at the staggering rate of $500,000 (major league minimum) because he his contract stipulated just that were he to miss time significant due to injury. Oh, you...

PAWTUCKET, R.I. – Maybe Chris Hernandez isn’t as high in Boston’s pitching pecking order as Rubby De La Rosa and Brandon Workman or, for that matter, Allen Webster and Anthony Ranaudo. But if the 25-year-old left-hander continues to deliver performances like the one...

Sure the Red Sox are not off to the best start, but let’s not forget that it’s still spring training and these games are absolutely meaningless. Since Ryan Dempster retired, Jake Peavy has become an extremely important member of the Red Sox staff. But the...

The last day of January! Winter’s slowly coming to a close! People might see temperatures without a negative in front of the number! Awesome fun happy times! Looks like the whole David Ortiz contract talks thing was blown bit out of proportion. But then again,...

With the Governor’s Cup series serving as the only games remaining on the minor league schedule, it seems like a good time to hand out this season’s year-end award. Bear in mind that not all of the awards I’m giving out will be positive–and of...

Garin Cecchini is very good. That’s perhaps the biggest takeaway I can relay from my trip to Portland to see the Sea Dogs last Friday. With Portland playing a good New Britton Rock Cats (Twins affiliate) team, this game afforded me the opportunity to see four Top 100...
