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...

With the trade deadline coming and going, the 48-60 last-place Boston Red Sox were incredibly active, having the ultimate fire-sale. They started the day off by trading away ace lefty Jon Lester and platoon outfielder Johnny Gomes to the Oakland Athletics for Cuban...

Well, that escalated quickly. News has come in this morning that the Boston Red Sox have traded starting pitcher Jon Lester & outfielder Jonny Gomes to the Oakland Athletics for outfielder Yoenis Cespedes and a 2015 competitive balance pick, blowing any notion of...

The Toronto Blue Jays completed their 3 game sweep of the Red Sox on Wednesday night, winning by a final score of 6-1. Brandon Workman got the start for Boston in place of Jon Lester, while the veteran right-hander Mark Buehrle toed the rubber for the Blue Jays. For...

For the second time in the past 5 days, Rubby De La Rosa and Marcus Stroman squared off, as the Red Sox and Blue Jays met for at Fenway Park for game 2 of a 3 game series. After both pitchers enjoyed a clean first inning, the Blue Jays opened the scoring on the...

Enough has been said and written about Jon Lester’s contract negotiations with the Red Sox that there is no need to rehash here. The Red Sox, for their part, didn’t expect to be this bad in 2014, so they probably believed another season of contention would give them...

Last week, we asked you to identify the Red Sox rookie who you thought was primed for the biggest second-half. Xander Bogaerts narrowly edged out the Sox top rookie performer this season, Brock Holt, 29% to 28%, while my own pick, Jackie Bradley Jr., came in third....

“Defeated” is an understatement for what the Toronto Blue Jays did to the Boston Red Sox on Monday night. In actuality, destroyed, embarrassed, or dismantled would be a more appropriate description of the beat-down that took place at Fenway Park. Melky...
