The Boston Red Sox have a lot of issues to face this offseason, but none may be more significant that the question of what to do with Jacoby Ellsbury. The 29-year-old Center Fielder will be coming into his last year of team control in 2013, and with agent Scott Boras...

The Bobby V era is over. We want to know: Who do you want to be in the manager’s seat come next year? Are you as sold on John Farrell as the organization is? Do you pine for Terry Francona to the point you want Brad Mills? Does Boston go the Mike Matheny route...

I haven’t seen an official list of the potential replacements for Bobby Valentine yet, but if there is one, then I hope Pawtucket Red Sox Manager Arnie Beyler’s name is on it. Of any of the potential internal candidates (Gary Tuck, Tim Bogar, Dave Magadin), Beyeler is...
