With the season effectively over, it sometimes feels pointless and futile to recapitulate the goings on of the team from day to day and week to week from here on out. It seems extraneous and irrelevant to analyze players’ performances if they are all for naught....

The Boston Red Sox had five open spaces after trading away pieces on Thursday prior to Friday’s contest at Fenway Park against the New York Yankees, but the team did a couple extra moves to make sure even more players could get on the team. The Red Sox placed...

No July 31st trade deadline was quite like what we saw transpire on Thursday morning and afternoon. In total, 18 teams sent 37 players to new cities, household names found new zip codes, and the Red Sox were right in the middle of the flurry of moves. Boston’s...

The Boston Red Sox have been struggling mot of the 2014 season with a 48-60 record through two-thirds of the season. A 13-game deficit will be an even tougher hill to climb without four of the five starters on the Opening Day roster to start this season. The Red Sox...

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...

The Boston Red Sox have won seven of eight contests after struggling to win a series in early July and are just six games under .500 at 46-52. They are six games out of the second wild card spot and 7.5 games out of the AL East-leading Baltimore Orioles. The team has...

A deep farm system is a good problem to have, but it still causes problems that will eventually need to be solved by the front office. For example, the Boston Red Sox, heading into the all star break, have been fielding three natural second basemen in their lineups...

The release of A.J. Pierzynski on Wednesday marked a turning point for the Red Sox this season. The youth movement has started in earnest, with the club starting five rookies on Wednesday night. As Alex Skillin wrote earlier this week, more moves should be on the way...

For most of us, “Mookie Madness” was an experience that was only felt through a minor league box score or a game recap, but on Wednesday night Red Sox nation got to see first hand what Mookie Madness is all about. Down by4 runs in the 8th inning,...

It has become painfully obvious in the last two weeks that the Red Sox are going nowhere in 2014. The club’s offense has scuffled all season long, and with summer no longer a novelty, these struggles have quickly grown from what appeared to be a passing fluke to cold,...
