The Winter Meetings are currently underway in Orlando. Yesterday, we hilariously saw Jeff Kent elected to the Hall of Fame by the Contemporary Era Committee, a development that may bode very well for Dustin Pedroia (seriously, go compare their stats side-by-side).

Every few years a new pitch makes its way from obscurity to “all the rage” status. I remember when the forkball became a thing and it’s probably the only reason I remember who Fred Breining is. Then came the “Humm Baby” era of the splitter, followed by the cut fastball that morphed its name into […]

Good morning! The Red Sox made a trade last night. And, regardless of whether you think it’s a good trade (Matt makes a pretty strong argument that it is) it’s definitely a curious trade, because Johan Oviedo certainly seems to fit the profile of one of those mid-rotation starters that Craig Breslow had said the […]
