It has been a disastrous season for the Boston Red Sox. After making the American League playoffs a year ago and having the blueprint for a dominant pitching staff, the Red Sox have not looked anything like a team that has designs of going back to the postseason this year. With the calendar about to […]

With a June 1 opt-out date looming, veteran reliever Tommy Kahnle is expected to look for a new team if he isn’t added to Boston’s roster, reports Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. This is the second time Boston has faced a roster decision with the right-hander, who triggered an upward mobility clause on May 1, but […]
Don’t let the scoreline fool you. For eight innings, this was the same old Red Sox team, struggling to string together any semblance of offense behind yet another solid start from Sonny Gray. But lest we despair too much, let’s note that Guardians starter Parker Messick is no slouch on the mound, having entered today’s […]
The biggest boom of the day wasn’t the meteor that rattled parts of New England. It was the Red Sox bats. Boston unloaded on Cleveland for nine runs and 11 hits Saturday afternoon, cruising to a 9-1 victory over the Guardians at Progressive Field.
The Nats had chances to win last night, but they came up short. Some of the weaknesses at the back end of their roster showed up, and they lost 7-5 in a bullpen battle. Now they will look to bounce back at home against a tough Padres team. Blake Butera has made some peculiar changes […]
Ten games under .500 just has a different feel to it, huh? Life doesn’t seem too bad at six or seven games under; it’s not hard to imagine a team ripping of seven wins out of eight and getting right back into it in those scenarios. But ten? Ten is rough. You fall ten games […]
The Chicago Cubs desperately need pitching. The Boston Red Sox are falling out of contention. Perhaps there's a deal to be struck around Sonny Gray.
Worcester: W, 6-5 (BOX SCORE) The lone winner in the organization Friday night, the WooSox and Michael Sansone were hit around by the Rail Riders (Yankees AAA) to start and needed some late offense to bring them home, where Tommy Kahnle again slammed the door in the ninth. That late offense was an eighth-inning leadoff […]
It’s only been two hits. Two hits over two days. Can you declare someone back from the dead after two hits, especially in such venues as Fenway Park and Great American Ball Park? But did you see the hits though? Let me help you with that. Here’s Thursday in Boston: And here’s last night in […]
Adrian Beltre is often pointed to as the best one-year player to don the Red Sox uniform. Boston signed him to a one-year, $9 million contract for the 2010 season at age 31. All he did in that season was lead baseball with 49 doubles, slug 28 home runs with 102 RBIs while leading all […]
Ownership of Muhammad Ali’s 1974 “Rumble in the Jungle” World Boxing Council title belt and of a uniform worn by Wilt Chamberlain as a high school player in 1954 are among the 11 high-value memorabilia items at issue in a new federal lawsuit brought by Collectable Sports Assets LLC (CSA) against sports memorabilia museum Sports […]

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (28-26) ROCHESTER 9, SYRACUSE 8 / 11 (BOX) Syracuse scored seven runs in the third inning but managed to lose anyway. The Red Wings tied the game in the seventh initially, tallying two runs off Jonathan Pintaro. A Kevin Parada put the Mets back in front in the eighth, but Dylan Ross couldn’t hold […]
Columbus Clippers 10, Toledo Mud Hens 7 (box) The Hens offense had a good night, but Carl Edwards Jr. and the Hens bullpen did not. Edwards Jr. is being stretched out as a starter for whatever reason. Probably because Scott Harris and Jeff Greenberg liked him as a Cubs reliever nearly a decade ago. Anyway, […]
It’s becoming increasingly perplexing how different Brayan Bello looks depending on his role.As a traditional starter, the right-hander has struggled mightily this season.
I have such a hard time with this loss because it’s a close one. Having lost six of their last seven, I almost would have preferred a 4-0 shutout and that was that. To score three in the fifth inning gave me way too much hope (still not a lot but more than none) that […]
Great; another opener in front of Brayan Bello. The Guardians lead the AL Central while the Sox slipped right back into fifth place. Who’s looking for a fun weekend?! ⚾️ First Pitch: 7:10pm EDT — Progressive Field, Cleveland, OH 📺 TV: NESN 📻 Radio: WEEI
When the Red Sox fired Alex Cora, it wasn’t the record that sealed his fate. Boston had reshaped its financial identity over the past three years, losing its big-market tactics despite having the payroll to support them. The firing was “a culmination of misalignment that predates the current front office,” as CBS Sports reported. Cora […]

If the Boston Red Sox decide to blow it up and address their outfield surplus, these Jarren Duran landing spots could work wonders.
After another losing homestand the Red Sox thankfully head on the road, where they can win. Welcome to Cleveland. First place in the AL Central, the Guardians are 33-25 on the season. They’re three game in front of the Chicago White Sox. Not a typo. You were expecting the Detroit Tigers? They’re sitting at 22-35. […]
Are you accurately pricing in risk?

They don’t hand out MVP awards for the NLDS. But I believe the most valuable player in the Phillies’ playoff series against the Dodgers in 2025 was Roki Sasaki. After dominating in the Japanese Pacific League in 2024, the Phillies pursued the young pitcher. But the appeal of playing on the west coast with countryman […]
Worcester Red Sox 1, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders 0 (BOX) Jack Anderson has had his ups and downs throughout this season, even making a stop in Boston for a few days back in April. Thursday night was one of those “ups”, striking out eight batters and allowing just one hit over 4 2/3 innings. That would be […]
The Kyle Harrison trade should be the move that seals Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow's future.
The Brayan Bello Experience is turning into a complicated one in Boston on numerous levels. In the short-term, it’s unclear whether he should start or enter the game behind an “Opener.” In the season-long term, it’s unclear if he should be in the starting rotation or the bullpen. In the long, long term, it’s unclear […]
