With the Red Sox out of contention this season, Thursday’s trade deadline was one of the most action-packed days in team history. Eight players from the opening day roster left the club in the month before the deadline. Here’s my ranking of the top five moves Ben...

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...

Red Sox Nation has spent much of this season focusing on two major issues: How bad/annoying/swing at the first pitch-y A.J Pierzynski is as well as whether or not Jackie Bradley, Jr, will ever hit enough to justify his other worldly defense in the daily lineup. As AJP...

Don’t look now, but the Red Sox are streaking with exactly 10 day to go before the July 31st trade deadline. Over the weekend, Boston took 3 straight from the Kansas City Royals, and improved their season record to 46-52. On Friday, it was Clay Buchholz who got...

The Red Sox won last night. They beat the Kansas City Royals, 5-4. Bucholtz got the win, Scott Downs was credited with the loss, and Koji notched save number 19. Just another night in Boston. Admittedly, that win felt very good. I’m trying not to delude myself into...

The first half of the Red Sox season proved to be a bumpier ride than just about anyone could have predicted, leaving Boston in an uncertain situation as the trade deadline approaches at the end of July. With Tuesday’s All-Star Game now in the past and the second half...

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,...

Xander Bogaerts is the wunderkind of the Red Sox’ newest batch of prospects. His calling card in the minors was his ridiculous hitting – give him 100 plate appearances in any minor league level and he’d have it all figured out. Bogaerts made pitchers...
