What would it take for the Red Sox to trade for Zach Neto?
We officially have trade deadline rumors! Is anyone interested in a little Zach Neto action? Yesterday, The Athletic reported that “after expressing interest in the Los Angeles Angels shortstop last offseason, [the Red Sox] continue to view him as a strong fit, according to people briefed on their discussions.” As fun as it was to […]
Red Sox’s Brian Abraham on trade deadline talks, reported Franklin Arias promotion
The Boston Red Sox find themselves in a fascinating position after a franchise-record-tying 15-game winning streak. The entire vibe of the ballpark flipped on its head with real investment in a historic run. Boston went from 37-48 and out of contention to 52-48 and in control of an American League playoff spot. The surge also […]
Red Sox Minor Lines: Kristian Campbell plays hero… twice
Worcester, Game 1: W, 3-2 (F/7) (BOX SCORE) The doubleheader against Jacksonville (Marlins AAA) could not have been a more night and day tale of two games. This game made the most of some Vinny Capra and Kristian Campbell RBI knocks in the fourth and Blake Wehunt overcame giving up a first inning home run […]
The Red Sox 15-game winning streak was even more absurd than you think
Before we close the book on the Red Sox historic 15-game winning streak and move on to the rest of the regular season tomorrow, I want to take a step back and marvel at what we just witnessed — because, folks, it really was nothing short of extraordinary. If you told me at the beginning […]
Red Sox star Garrett Crochet talks beer, pitching, his injury, and more
Garrett Crochet didn’t choose to come to Boston, but he did choose to stay here. After making just one start as a member of the Red Sox (on the road in Texas), Crochet signed a six-year contract extension to remain with the organization through at least 2030. He was a standout on the field in […]
What did the Red Sox winning streak mean to you?
Back on July 2nd, when the the Red Sox were heading to the west coast 11 games under .500, I asked when the next meaningful Red Sox baseball game would occur at Fenway Park. At the time, the season was teetering, and it felt like only a miracle could save them. Well, I’m not sure […]
Red Sox historic winning streak comes to an end at 15 as Eduardo Rivera can’t get out of the first inning
Throughout the Red Sox 15 game winning streak, they leaned heavily on spectacular starting pitching. Unfortunately, they didn’t get that tonight. Eduardo Rivera was given the opening role for the third time over the course of this heater, and this time, the cracks beneath the surface fully materialized in costly fashion. He gave up four […]
Red Sox go for franchise record 16th straight win against the Orioles tonight
The last and only other time the Red Sox won 15 games in a row was in the spring of 1946. Ted Williams had just returned from World War II and was off to a scalding start in what would become his first MVP season (it should have been his second). Harry S. Truman was […]
Red Sox tie franchise record with 15th straight win, set table for history in nightcap
The Red Sox will not be defied by weather or competition. The wins just keep coming. Boston rolled out to a 4-0 lead after the first inning and rode that momentum to a 6-3 victory over the Orioles in the opening game of the doubleheader. Jake Bennett did enough to win and the offense set […]
Jake Bennett starts doubleheader with chance to tie franchise-record winning streak
TV: NESN First Pitch: 1:35 p.m. ET The Red Sox did not end the streak due to Tuesday’s rainout and could break the record if they can sweep a day-night doubleheader. Boston ended Baltimore’s seven-game winning streak with Monday’s dramatic win. Now, the Red Sox play for a fifth consecutive series sweep as Jake Bennett, […]
Red Sox Minor Lines: Brooks Brannon hits a game-winning home run
Worcester: PPD (Rain), Make-Up Today That same storm that compromised the Red Sox game ended up raining ou Worcester, too. And, in the same manner, the WooSox play the Jumbo Shrimp (Marlins AAA) in a double-header today, with first pitch at 4:05. Portland: W, 4-3 (BOX SCORE) The Sea Dogs had just five hits in […]
How far can the Red Sox climb up the AL standings?
Don’t look now, but the Red Sox are 1.5 games away from having the third-best record in the American League. That mark is currently held by the co-leaders in the AL Central, with the Chicago White Sox (53-47) and Cleveland Guardians (54-48) in a virtual tie for first place. The problem with having the third-best […]
The 2026 Red Sox are starting to resemble the legendary 2004 team
What the Red Sox have done under Chad Tracy the last few weeks has been incredible. He was left with a seven-game hole under Alex Cora’s management and that hurdle was even larger to jump. Their record 0f 41-31 under the interim manager is impressive. The 9-game road winning streak was unbelievable. Yes, the Angels […]
Red Sox and Orioles rained out, will play a double header on Wednesday
The Red Sox 14-game winning streak didn’t end tonight, but it was put on pause thanks to Mother Nature. Here’s the announcement of split double header tomorrow at 1:35pm and 7:10pm straight from the team: With this arrangement, the Red Sox could tie and break their all-time franchise winning streak of 15 straight games in […]
Red Sox swap Ranger Suarez for Eduardo Rivera as rain threatens tonight’s game at Fenway Park
Yesterday, Chad Tracy announced that Ranger Suarez would come off the IL and make tonight’s start against the Orioles as the club goes for its franchise record tying 15th straight win. However, as of this afternoon, there’s been a change of plans. The good news is this doesn’t appear to be injury related. That reasoning […]
The Red Sox might make the playoffs, which is a problem…
The Boston Red Sox refuse to die, which is bad news for me! Boston did that thing again in its series opening matchup with the Baltimore Orioles on Monday, securing yet another come-from-behind victory and pushing its winning streak to 14 games while further solidifying itself as one of the likely wild card teams in […]
Will the Red Sox ever lose again?
What is happening? I can’t believe what I’m watching every night. Every time they fall behind, they have an answer. There’s a counter-punch for every punch, a solution to every problem, and a win seemingly every time they take the field. Fenway was sold out on a Monday night; the place was an absolute madhouse, […]
Craig Breslow and the Red Sox needed a hot streak. They got a historic one
On June 29, nearly a month ago, I posted an article on this very website calling for a run. Well, I guess I had called for a whole heap of runs in the baseball sense, but I meant a run as in a streak. A heater, if you will. The header for that day’s blog […]
Red Sox 6, Orioles 5: When it rains, it pours
There are winning streak-ass games and winning streak-ass games. This was the latter. The Red Sox, on their greatest streak in nearly a century, fell behind to start, then took the lead, and repeated the process over the course of the game as the Orioles, themselves on a seven-game streak, gave us chances that we […]
Red Sox vs. Orioles lineups: Something’s gotta give
Peyton Tolle takes the mound tonight against the Orioles in a matchup of teams that have won a combined 20 games in a row. That’s pretty nuts! I will not be saying the Red Sox’s actual number of consecutive victories as a hedge against jinxing it. I truly do have that power. They say it’s […]
Orioles and Red Sox face off in battle of the hottest teams in the American League
The Red Sox have won 13 straight. The Baltimore Orioles are on a 7-game winning streak. The next longest winning streak in MLB is 3 games by the Milwaukee Brewers. These are the hottest teams in baseball – the Peacock broadcast last night called the Red Sox white hot – and they are going to […]
Red Sox Minor Lines: Could Gage Ziehl be leveraged in a trade?
Worcester: L, 4-5 (BOX SCORE) One rainy day removed from the WooSox’s one-run loss to the RailRiders (Yankees AAA) on Friday night, they fell to a walk-off home run at the end of a pretty effective bullpen day when they allowed just five hits, three of those being home runs. The WooSox even being in […]
Red Sox News & Links: Sox, Breslow still not committing to buying at trade deadline
That the Red Sox have climbed out of the Grand Canyon-sized hold they dug themselves over the first three months of the season is remarkable enough, that they’ve done it without any contributions from the most talented hitter on their roster is shocking. Alas, they better hope they can keep it going without Roman Anthony […]
Who are these guys and what have they done with the 2026 Red Sox?
Hello and happy Monday, folks. Feels weird to not have a World Cup game ready to go on deck now, doesn’t it? But you know what we do have on deck? A Red Sox game. They play Baltimore at Fenway tonight, with the first pitch scheduled for 7:10 p.m. EST. A win would bring our […]
Red Sox Rout First-Place Rays 6-1, Make It 13 in a Row
The Boston Red Sox just swept the Tampa Bay Rays—the team that entered this series leading the AL East. It’s their fourth consecutive series sweep. Thirteen wins in a row. 50-48 and rising. Holy crap. I can’t keep saying things that show my disbelief at this happening, in the best way possible. OK, onto the […]
