Latest news and updates about the Red Sox
Red Sox prospect Miguel Bleis is coming off a season in which he was named the organization’s Minor League Baserunner of the Year. This article will examine how the speedy outfielder fared on the 2025 campaign as a whole. Due to a quad injury suffered late in spring training, Bleis did not make his season … Continue reading "How did speedy Red Sox OF prospect Miguel Bleis fare in 2025?"
Good morning! The Red Sox released a behind-the-scenes video from Story Camp yesterday and I highly recommend it for anyone who is looking to improve their form on barbell squats. But the most intriguing thing in the video may come at about the 10-minute mark, when Jarren Duran is briefly shown wearing an infielder’s glove […]
Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Nate Baez and he comes from Oro Valley, Arizona. Oro Valley looks like this: …so I can only assume that baseball is Baez’s second career after robbing stagecoaches didn’t work out. The Red Sox just acquired him from the Twins organization in exchange for Triston […]
The Yankees offseason hasn’t been as bad as the average fan believes: it has been worse. All kidding aside, things haven’t been explosive on the player acquisition front, but the Bombers have done plenty of work. They brought back Cody Bellinger, Trent Grisham, Amed Rosario, Tim Hill, Ryan Yarbrough, and Paul Blackburn while also trading […]
The draw for the Champions League knockout phase play-offs took place this morning, and Borussia Dortmund were drawn against Italian side Atalanta. The first leg of BVB’s play-off will take place on the 17th, at the Westfalenstadion, and Dortmund will travel to the Stadio di Bergamo for the second leg on the 24th February. If BVB […]
After playing a key role in winning a Dominican Summer League championship and being named the organization’s 2024 Latin Program Position Player of the Year in his professional debut, Red Sox outfield prospect Justin Gonzales took another step forward in 2025. Gonzales, originally signed for $250,000 as an international free agent out of the Dominican … Continue reading "How did power-hitting Red Sox OF prospect Justin Gonzales fare in 2025?"
Yesterday, our own Bob Osgood reviewed the pitching staff and noted this when it came to Connelly Early’s projections: “Early’s 16% K-BB, and near-3.50 ERA in both projections, is startling. Of course, thanks to the logjam of pitchers on this team, he’s projected for only 50-60 innings at the moment. That being said, there are […]
Good morning! It’s prospect ranking season, and we’ve already seen a few new top-100 lists, most of which feature the same quartet of Red Sox minor leaguers: Payton Tolle, Connelly Early, Franklin Arias, and Kyson Witherspoon. Today, we’ve got a couple of rankings of the system as a whole, with Keith Law giving the Sox […]
Let’s get this out of the way quickly. In 2018, both Craig Kimbrel (former Brave) and Dallas Keuchel (eventual Brave) received Qualifying Offers. No team wanted to sign them and give up a draft pick. So, both Kimbrel and Keuchel had to wait until midseason in order to join a club. Kimbrel signed a three-year, […]
Liverpool locked down a place in the Round of 16 of the Champions League with Wednesday’s 6-0 thumping of Qarabag FK that means they finish third in the league phase of Europe’s premier cup competition. For a side that has struggled as much as the Reds have at times this season, it’s unquestionably a big […]
The final infield bat? Up in the air. Free agents? Available. A trade for CJ Abrams? Possible. Maybe? The Washington Nationals did just trade Mackenzie Gore so it’s possible they burn things completely to the ground. Gore, however, did cost the Texas Rangers a king’s ransom of prospects. We are, as of today, January 29, […]
In yet another incredibly tight vote, it was Big Sugar who emerged victorious! With 36 votes out of 124 responses in this round, big right-hander Zach Maxwell claimed the plurality, narrowly topping the likes of Leo Balcazar (34 votes) and Aaron Watson (29 votes) – with the latter two holding slim leads of their own […]
Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Seth Martinez. If you’re like me, you saw the name “Seth” in an article about Red Sox transactions and briefly celebrated because you thought that Seth Lugo was coming to Boston. Seth Martinez is not Seth Lugo. He does, however, own a World Series ring […]
By the mid-to-late-2000s, it was readily apparent the dynasty years were over. The Yankees hadn’t reached a World Series since 2003. Perhaps worse, they’d allowed the Red Sox to break The Curse, with one of sport’s wildest combacks in the ALCS That Shall Not Be Talked About. Despite those setbacks, however, the Yankees continued to […]
Locking in defensive returns is often the difference between a red arrow and a green one in the world of Fantasy Premier League. While goals and assists capture the headlines, the 4-point windfall for a clean sheet remains the gold standard for goalkeepers and defenders, while even midfielders benefit from a sneaky 1-point bonus for […]
Spring Training is nearly here, and not a moment too soon for those of us shoveling snow from our driveways and scraping ice off the windshields. As the Sox pack up for Camelback Ranch, they have fresh validation that Rebuild 2.0 is stocking the system with real upside. MLB Pipeline’s updated Top 100 Prospects list […]
Good morning! MLB Network is conducting its annual exercise in ranking the best players at each position. Yesterday, they tackled left field, and the top of the list is quite interesting: Yes, the man that many Red Sox fans have been shipping out the door in imaginary trade scenarios all offseason is, according to MLB […]
In the dead of winter, when I’m not refreshing MLB Trade Rumors or yelling at Siri to ask if my Jeff Passan Twitter alerts are broken, I like to look at player projections on Fangraphs. Despite the fact that they are a complete fantasy land, they provide a good baseline for our expectations for the […]
The San Francisco Giants agreed to a deal with outfielder Harrison Bader on Monday, and that means a few things. Most of those things are good — for instance, it means that the Giants will now have a watchable outfield defense, and also that they’ll probably be better this year than they would have otherwise […]
Happy Wednesday, everyone! We’re inching ever closer to Truck Day, which means we’re closer than ever to pitchers and catchers reporting. Baseball is almost back! We’re turning our attention to the World Baseball Classic today, as reports are out that Carlos Correa and Jose Altuve will both miss the WBC due to insurance issues. Bo […]
At this time last year, Red Sox pitching prospect Juan Valera appeared primed to take another step forward in 2025. Valera, originally signed for $45,000 as an international free agent out of the Dominican Republic in April 2023, put himself on the map in his stateside debut two seasons ago. The young right-hander forged a … Continue reading "Why Red Sox pitching prospect Juan Valera could break out in 2026"
You’ve heard it said before. He’ll be different with us. We can fix him. Former Red Sox top prospect, White Sock, and Dodger, the artist known as Michael Kopech remains one of the great project pitchers of our time. There are always a few guys like this around. Blessed with great stuff but unable to […]
I know not everywhere got dumped on by 21 inches of snow like we did, and then immediately followed by sub-zero temperatures, but I am going stir-crazy. The kids are all home, we can’t really go anywhere, and I think we could all use some fresh air. Worse, the brutal cold isn’t turned for, at a minimum, another 10 days apparently. I’m grateful our furnace is working, but I would also be grateful for enough of a break in the roads/temps that everyone can safely go back to school … The Fr...
Good morning! We fans probably downplay the effect a trade has on a baseball player. Could you imagine how disrupting it would be if your employers could force you into a different job in a different city in an instant? But Payton Tolle isn’t too fazed by the trade rumors, which is just one thing […]
Yesterday, we told you about the four Red Sox prospects who made their way into MLB Pipeline’s top-100 list: Payton Tolle, Franklin Arias, Connelly Early, and Kyson Witherspoon. Today, we have a new prospect ranking — this one from the Athletic’s Keith Law. The same four players are on it, though Law is comparatively lower […]
