As the dust settles on the Alex Bregman departure, details about the Red Sox failed free agent pursuit are starting to trickle out. Unsurprisingly, Alex Speier has a ton of interesting nuggets, including: the Red Sox had a trade for Nolan Arenado all but completed last offseason until Bregman and Scott Boras approached the Sox […]

Good morning! The Red Sox don’t have a third baseman, but they do have two of the best left-handed pitching prospects in baseball. MLB Pipeline put both Payteon Tolle and Connelly Early on their top-10 list: That’s Tolle in the number two slot, just behind Miami’s Thomas White, and Connelly Early landing at number eight. […]

For the second straight year, the Detroit Tigers have struck out on one of their biggest free agent targets, third baseman Alex Bregman. Last year, the Tigers, Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs were the three finalists for the former Houston Astros’ services, with the BoSox prevailing with a three-year, $120 million contract with opt-outs […]

Regarding the Red Sox offseason, you may have heard, among other things, that they have not yet signed a Major League free agent. That is true. It is, in fact, unclear if the front office is aware that free agency began on November 6th. Minor league free agents, though? The action is hot. The Red […]

The Pittsburgh Pirates shed some weight from their bullpen by trading right-handed-pitcher Chase Shugart to the Philadelphia Phillies. Shugart was drafted in in the 12th round of the MLB Draft in 2018 by the Red Sox, and has some seen some playing time in the Major Leagues over the past two seasons in both Boston […]

The Red Sox have agreed to terms on a minor league contract with free-agent right-hander Patrick Halligan, as was first reported by Andrew Parker of SoxProspects.com.

I’ve never viewed myself as a Miles Mastrobuoni truther. With all due respect, I’m not sure that many people have. If I started this article by asking if we’re underappreciating Miles Mastrobuoni, I don’t even know if you’d keep reading. The majority of his plate appearances, on the surface, seem to back up these claims. […]

Alfredo Duno took home the honors of being ranked 2nd in this year’s Community Prospect Rankings, and now we move on to the candidates for spot #3. There’s an embedded Google Form with polling that should show up at the bottom of this post, but if you’ve found this through a search engine that strips […]

In the 19 years between 1993 and 2011, the Red Sox didn’t finish in last place in the division a single time. In the 14 years since 2011, they finished in last 6 times. The lean Chaim Bloom years were intended, according to Fenway Sports Group, to serve as something of a resent to avoid […]

We skipped doing one of these last year, but they are fun and give a little shine to a number of our writers here. It is a nice pick-me-up in the dead of winter and as one dreary year turns over to another. For this year’s version we will switch up the format a bit, […]

The Red Sox made it through Fenway Fest before the Alex Bregman news broke. After months of negotiations and all the work that went into acquiring him last year, the saga is over. Only a few people will ever know how whether the Red Sox were genuinely serious or if this was a pursuit designed […]

Iván Nova always wanted to be a Yankee. Growing up in the Dominican Republic outside of San Cristóbal, his father, Manuel, passed on a passion for the Bronx Bombers. As the younger Nova developed into an intriguing pitching prospect, a Red Sox scout came calling, offering the right-hander a contract. He turned the Yankees’ rivals down […]

I don’t want to say I told you so — because I definitely wasn’t alone in my worries about this whole situation, although I did take considerable heat for it on Twitter — but let’s just say that what unfolded this weekend with Alex Bregman is exactly what I figured would happen immediately following the […]

Ah, Joe Jimenez. The Braves have gone on a bit of a bullpen construction-slash-reconstruction spree so far this offseason, re-adding Raisel Iglesias and Tyler Kinley while committing big bucks to Robert Suarez. They also brought in Joel Payamps late last season and re-signed him for something notably above league minimum, and Ian Hamilton is hanging […]

And how was your weekend? Yeesh. I’m still a bit shocked that Alex Bregman ain’t coming back to the Red Sox. I guess I just had too much confidence that something would’ve been figured out. Luckily, the gang here at OTM will be here to take you through the fallout of the third baseman signing […]

Good morning. You already know the big news of the weekend and we’ll deal with Alex Bregman with the Cubs on the front page and in Cub Tracks. But there are ripple effects from Bregman signing with the Cubs that land on other teams.

Former LSU great Alex Bregman is now a very, very rich man. The former Tiger is trading in his Red Sox for Cubbie Blue as Bregman signed a five-year $175 million deal with the Chicago Cubs Saturday night.

Hello one and all, and happy Saturday. To those who will be in attendance: happy Fenway Fest to you and yours! I won’t be able to make it this year, sadly, as I missed the boat on ticket inventory. I gambled that the event wouldn’t sell out, and I lost. If it’s your first time, […]

The Royals have been actively seeking to trade their starting pitching depth for a bat that can help their lineup, but have so far been unable to land a starting-caliber impact player. The Red Sox have been interested in Cole Ragans, but the Royals have been unwilling to trade away such a high-upside arm. Instead, […]
