Sox beat Dodgers, win 8th series in a row
Recap On the third pitch of the game, Ceddanne Rafaela homered and the Sox were off and running. Yippee! 1-0. Then in the second, Payton Tolle gave up a homer that scored two. Ouch! He then proceeded to load the bases. Yikes! It was a nerve-wracking inning, though a ball that would have likely scored […]
Red Sox at Dodgers: looking to play like it’s still July
Hello nightowls and western residents of Red Sox Nation! Besides the trade deadline and Jarren Duran’s current mood, there are other important things to keep an eye on tonight. To wit, Willson Contreras, who is following concussion protocols after getting hit on the helmet last night. And as the calendar turns to August, there’s also […]
Red Sox Minor Lines: A big night for Franklin Arias
Worcester: W, 9-6 (BOX SCORE) Whenever you start seeing “6” in the box scores under “at-bats” like Nate Eaton had Friday night, you usually have an idea that a team had a pretty good night at the plate. Funny enough, Friday night’s game against the Tides (Orioles AAA) was a nail-biter until it really wasn’t. […]
George Springer is the right fit for the Red Sox at the trade deadline
The next 48 hours could be one of the most fascinating stretches of this decade for the Red Sox. While I think the majority of us would like to see them buy, considering they enter Saturday with a 77% chance of making the playoffs, how much they should buy is a whole other story. As […]
Never Say Die Red Sox Will Another Comeback Win, Shock Dodgers 9-4 in LA
The trade deadline is Monday. Tonight was about winning a baseball game in Los Angeles against the best lineup in the National League. Mission accomplished. Ranger Suarez was decent enough. He went 4.2 innings, got into a jam, and left, not completely unscathed but with two down. Not a disaster—the kind of start where a […]
Final series before trade deadline begins in Los Angeles
Welcome to wild, wild weekend in baseball land! Who gets flipped where? What does Craig Breslow do? Can the Sox win ANOTHER series? It all starts tonight! ⚾️ First Pitch: 10:10pm EDT – Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, CA 📺 TV: NESN 📻 Radio: WEEI
2018 World Series rematch as Red Sox arrive at Dodger Stadium
Ohtani. Freeman. Mookie. Yamamoto. …Kiké? Legends all. And the Red Sox will be facing the best team in baseball for a weekend. Just over a month ago this was a dreaded series. The Dodgers were going to crush the last place Red Sox like an egg. Until the Sox caught fire. As essentially the hottest […]
Craig Breslow needs to understand the difference between buying and adding at the Red Sox trade deadline
The Boston Red Sox appear poised to make a splash in significant fashion at the trade deadline. Whether you’ve followed that path through the big-name national reporters or the latest round of reports from the local beat, it feels like every update indicates that Boston is in the mix for the most impactful names on […]
Red Sox Minor Lines: A 7-hit day for Yophery Rodriguez
Worcester Red Sox 3, Norfolk Tides 1 (BOX) John Holobetz made his Triple-A debut on Thursday and did not disappoint. Holobetz, ranked #13 at Sox Prospects, threw 5 ⅔ innings, allowing one run on four hits, striking out six, and did not walk a batter to get the win over the Tides (BAL). Tommy Kahnle […]
Red Sox News & Links: Finally some good Roman Anthony injury news!
Praise! Praise the healing waters of the Gulf Coast! After months of seemingly no one having any idea what was even happening, we finally have some good news on the Roman Anthony injury front: the superstar-in-waiting is finally swinging a baseball bat again. “There’s no clear next steps yet. He just started doing it,” Chad […]
Red Sox secure comeback victory despite odd moment vs. A’s
The Red Sox had to overcome some obstacles in order to secure their series victory over the Sacramento Athletics at Sutter Health Park on Thursday. It’s safe to say some of them were self-inflicted, though we’ll talk about that later… Boston didn’t play cleanly — the defense added two more errors to its series total […]
Red Sox looking for seventh straight series victory against A’s
TV: NESNFirst Pitch: 9:40 p.m. ETLocation: Sutter Health Park, Sacramento, Calif. The Red Sox are aiming to secure yet another series victory over the Sacramento Athletics on Thursday at Sutter Health Park. Boston has been superb recently, having put itself in a position to win a seventh consecutive series with its torrid 23-5 stretch through […]
Red Sox Minor Lines: Justin Gonzales is white hot
Worcester: W, 6-2 (BOX SCORE) After dropping game one in Norfolk (Orioles AAA) following a six-game win-streak, the WooSox are back on top on Wednesday. They enjoyed not only another solid five-inning start from Blake Wehunt, who is impressing with a small sample size in Triple-A thus far, but also twin sixth inning home runs […]
Red Sox News & Links: Sox reportedly “going big” at trade deadline
How bold do you think the Red Sox are going to be this trade deadline? The team is no doubt in a tricky situation, with a playoff berth currently in hand, but a roster that likely presents too many challenges to genuinely contend. But one ESPN insider isn’t mincing words: “They are going big,” says […]
I’m petrified of the 2026 Red Sox trade deadline
There are so many cracks on this Red Sox roster, it’s hard to pinpoint a top priority to address, but if we keep it broad, I think we can focus on five general areas of need. Here’s the problem: I don’t know what I want the Red Sox to do about these holes because I […]
What position should the Red Sox target most aggressively at the trade deadline?
There’s no shortage of holes on this Red Sox team. The offense needs help, the bullpen drops off dramatically beyond the top four guys, and despite excellent pitching from the rotation all year, a combination of injuries and young guys reaching career highs in innings pitched is likely going to create problems down the stretch. […]
Red Sox battle for late-night extra-innings victory on Monasterio’s clutch swing
The Red Sox found themselves in another gritty, low-scoring clash with the Athletics in a post-midnight win (East Coast time) Wednesday night. While Boston left 13 men on base, they did enough with a big swing in extra innings to preserve a 4-2 victory. Here’s three takeaways from Wednesday night’s win. SANDOVAL IS SOLID Boston’s […]
Patrick Sandoval takes the ball to retake series lead
TV: NESN First Pitch: 9:40 p.m. ET The Red Sox came all the way back in the ninth inning of Tuesday’s 4-3 loss to the Athletics, which evened the four-game set. Patrick Sandoval takes the mound for his fourth start in a Red Sox uniform after 4 2/3 scoreless innings last time out against the […]
Red Sox Minor Lines: Yes, Franklin Arias hit another home run… in AAA this time!
Two games were rained out last night, but something very notable happened in Worcester’s game before the hot dog and ice cold beer vendors even had their bags loaded. Let’s get into it. Worcester: L, 3-4 (BOX SCORE) The WooSox swept the Jumbo Shrimp with six consecutive wins last week, but the opener against the […]
Talking with Red Sox draft pick Brett Lanman
Pitching development has been the Red Sox’s bread and butter under Craig Breslow. Since Breslow took over, the organization has invested heavily in the pitching pipeline. In his first two drafts, 28 of the team’s 41 picks were spent on pitchers — 29 if you count two-way player Conrad Cason. At the major league level, […]
Curtis Mead could join the list of Red Sox one-game wonders
With Curtis Mead hitting the IL with a potentially season-ending broken wrist, he’s joining a small group of hitters who played only a single game for the Boston Red Sox. Granted, Mead is expected to return for the 2027 season (if not later this year, possibly). But with Marcelo Mayer, Franklin Arias, and other trade […]
Who shouldn’t the Red Sox trade?
The Red Sox almost certainly weren’t done making deadline deals before the Curtis Mead trade, and in the wake of his instant season-jeopardizing injury, they’re… almost more certainly not done. The question isn’t necessarily who’s available, but who isn’t? Do they believe Triston Casas still has something? What about Marcelo Mayer? Is Franklin Arias just […]
Red Sox blow a golden opportunity to extend hot streak in 4-3 loss to the A’s
Baseball is a cruel game. Last night (well, probably two nights ago by the time you’re reading this), Ceddanne Rafaela played hero with a grand slam that drove in all the Red Sox runs. Tonight, he swung at a pitch that might have been outside state lines with the tying runs on base to cap […]
The Red Sox go for their 11th road win in a row tonight in Sacramento
The last time the Red Sox lost on the road, the World Cup was still in its group stage, Taylor Swift was still single, and the Venezuela earthquakes hadn’t happened yet. That was back on the afternoon of June 24th when the Sox dropped to a season low 14 games under .500 leaving Colorado, and […]
Curtis Mead has a broken wrist, will be going on the IL, might be done for the year
Have you ever gotten a Christmas present that was already broken when you opened the package? Well, this is the baseball equivalent of that. Despite the Red Sox claiming they “dodged a bullet” last night after Curtis Mead was hit in the wrist by a pitch in just his second plate appearance in a Boston […]
