Latest news and updates about the Red Sox
What’s This Team’s Deal? Last year, this article began with a picture of a completely disheveled Tropicana Field, still unusable six months after Hurricane Milton. After sustaining significant water and wind damage, the stadium has been renovated and the Rays will return to Tropicana Field in less than a month. The capacity of this renovated […]
The Atlanta Braves turned in mixed pitching performances on Tuesday, with Spencer Strider and Reynaldo López each partaking in spring festivities. In North Port, Strider faced a lineup full of Boston Red Sox minor leaguers. He threw five innings and surrendered a run. His fastball touched 96MPH, but he stayed around 93-95MPH. In Fort Myers, […]
Fans have been wondering, with bated breath and bitten nails, whether Jacob Lopez is fully healthy following his season-ending IL stint from the dreaded “forearm tightness”. Turns out fans weren’t the only one expelling bricks though orifices. I sat down with Lopez on Monday, March 16th, for what turned out to be an abbreviated interview […]
With the news that Joe Musgrove will start the season on the injured list, the San Diego Padres now have two rotation spots available instead of just one. Germán Márquez was lined up to take the fifth spot due to his big-league contract, but now there’s room for one more. One name has continued to […]
New York Post | Joel Sherman: ($) Gerrit Cole will return to the field Wednesday, starting a spring training game against the Red Sox. The Yankees’ ace is scheduled to pitch one inning, marking his first appearance since spring training of last year, when he sustained a UCL injury that required Tommy John surgery. While […]
Reliever and burgeoning starter Mike Vasil had his 2026 harshly stripped away after suffering arm soreness during a quality spring training start against the Dodgers on March 14. Vasil’s season-ending UCL injury leaves an opening on the 40-man roster, so at least someone will benefit from his ever-so-short-lived sophomore season. Among the currently non-rostered players, […]
The WBC has arrived. It probably arrived in 2023, to be honest — that Shohei-Trout at-bat feels like one of the most significant baseball moments of this century. But this is year that the WBC has broken containment. This is the year that the non-baseball watching people in my life are asking me about it. […]
Yankees fans got some good news on Tuesday morning, learning that rehabbing ace Gerrit Cole would grace our television screens on Wednesday against the Red Sox in a one-inning cameo. He’s still probably two months (or more) off from a regular-season appearance, but it’ll be a great sign. He and All-Star lefty Carlos Rodón will […]
The Atlanta Braves faced off against the Boston Red Sox as spring training is winding down with Reynaldo López taking the mound against arguably the best lineup he has faced since his injury. The Red Sox brought in most of their starters, and the Braves brought mostly hitters fighting for final bench spots. The Braves […]
Cito Gaston turns 82 today. Cito, the player, came up through the Atlanta Braves system and was a September call-up in 1967. He shared the outfield with Hank Aaron. In 1968, the Padres picked him in the expansion draft. He had one standout season, hitting .318 with 29 homers and 93 RBI, and overall played […]
Is the game on TV? It is. First pitch at 1:05 PM on NESN. What’s the lineup What should we watch for? Happy green Red Sox jersey day! Honestly, that’s always kind of a fun thing to watch, though I wonder if the new City Connects will dilute the novelty a bit. As for actual […]
The Atlanta Braves are in their final countdown of their excellent spring showing and Reynaldo López looks to continue his ramp up before hopefully being a key member of a Braves 2026 rebound. López has looked good this spring in his 9.0 innings pitched. He has only allowed six hits, and one earned run so […]
The 2025 Boston Red Sox were the third team in the AL East to make the postseason with an 89-73 record. They had the fourth-best record in the American League and lost in the Wild Card round to the Yankees. It was the Red Sox first playoff appearance since 2021 and just their second since […]
Through 11.0 IP across four starts so far in Cactus League play this spring, Andrew Abbott hasn’t exactly flashed his best stuff. He’s yielded 12 earned runs on 16 hits in that span, with four of those hits leaving the yard altogether. He has struck out 14 batters in that time, which is great, and […]
The World Baseball Classic has matured to the point where, like the World Cup and NCAA tournament, each edition is going to be remembered for a specific storyline. In 2023, that storyline was the ascension of Shohei Ohtani to the level of Global Sports God. Over those two-and-a-half weeks we saw him definitively swipe the […]
As the Red Sox approach Opening Day, it’s time to start taking at look at the other American League playoff contenders. Next up, a team that may still be recovering from baseball heartbreak. What’s this team’s deal? The Toronto Blue Jays were inches away. Minutes away. One play or bounce away. They took the Los […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters! Another Monday is upon us as we inch closer and closer to Opening Day 2026. We are now just 10 days from the first real Orioles game of the season. We’re so close! This is the final week of Grapefruit League games. The Orioles play the Red Sox at home this […]
There is exactly one baseball game truly worth watching today, and it isn’t from Spring Training. If nothing outside of tonight’s drool-worthy WBC semifinal matchup between the United States and the Dominican Republic is of interest to you, I wouldn’t be able to place any fault. Because from afar, there is exactly one thing and […]
While the Nationals are 11-6 in Grapefruit League play, the offense has been mostly quiet. The boys will look to change that today in a showdown against the Cardinals. This lineup is pretty close to what I expect the Opening Day lineup to be, so I am excited to see the big guns in action. […]
Is it on TV? Yes, first pitch at 1:05 PM on NESN. What’s the lineup? What should we watch for? It’s always fun to watch Garrett Crochet, especially as we near the start of the regular season and the pitchers begin to really ramp up. But today will be all about the return of Jarren […]
It feels like every year you need more and more subscriptions to watch the Red Sox. Rob Manfred supposedly wants to fix this in the future with nationalized broadcasting but for now, let’s see what’s on the docket for all those games in 2026. You might remember last fall when the Red Sox and Tigers […]
1903 Possibly the weirdest roster snafus in a single season continue, as Harry Gleason (brother of future White Sox manager Kid Gleason) is signed by Chicago — but chooses to report to his former team, the Boston Red Sox (née Americans), instead! The comedy of outlaw-player errors began when George Davis, after having doubled his […]
In a WBC littered with big home runs from Red Sox players, Wilyer Abreu now owns the most dramatic moment of the entire tournament. After falling behind Team Japan 5-2 in the third inning and nearly burying themselves even further in the fourth, Venezuela began to fight their way back into the game in the […]
Today was a lot better for Bryce Elder as far as results during spring training are concerned. Elder had a successful ramp-up during against the Red Sox and bounced back from a rough outing during his last appearance as the Braves continued to get ready for regular season action. For all the grief that we […]
It’s time for more Bryce Elder, folks! I know you’re amped up to see it and I’m certainly amped up to talk about it. Yep, I totally mean that with all sincerity. In all seriousness though, let’s hope that we see Elder show some improvement after his last outing was a bit of a mess. […]
