Monday saw the Red Sox claim Casey Fien from the Detroit Tigers. Of little note is the dropping of Gaby Hernandez to clear a spot. I am a bit shocked to see a pitcher with such solid peripherals in the minors given up on by the Tigers. Perhaps there is something they...

During an interview yesterday J.D. Drew made interesting comments about his future with the Red Sox and in baseball. While the league has shifted and older players are being forced to take lower value contracts or forced into retirement Drew appears ready for this on...
