Should The Red Sox Owners Sell the Team?
An article surfaced today on foxbusiness.com, discussing the idea of the Red Sox being sold. While the article mentions the ownership has denied the claim that they are shopping the team around, it’s not too crazy to think they are at least gauging the market interest. Nothing seems imminent, or even remotely close of happening, [...]
Should the Red Sox Re-sign Cody Ross?
As we approach the final month of the 2012 regular season, it is a great time to look at what the Red Sox can do this offseason. With everything that has occurred this season, including the blockbuster trade with the Dodgers, it’s obvious the Sox will have to do a lot of work in the [...]
In Defense of Josh Beckett
When someone decides to write The Big Book of Baseball Aces, Josh Beckett will be nothing more than a footnote.

Red Sox-Dodgers Trade: Winners and Losers
Last week, the Red Sox and Dodgers completed a nine-player blockbuster trade that reshaped both teams.

Red Sox Win While Debuting New Faces

Astros Fire Manager Brad Mills
Former Red Sox bench coach Brad Mills, who left the team to become the manager of the Houston Astros in 2009, was fired Saturday night. His Astros have the worst record in baseball at 39-82, including an unbelievably bad 4-34 stretch earlier this season. The team is in the midst of rebuilding, having traded away [...]
Report: Shoppach Sent Bobby V Text to John Henry from Gonzalez’s Phone
If it seemed odd that Adrian Gonzalez sent the infamous text message to John Henry complaining about manager Bobby Valentine, your suspicions were correct, according to a report from the New York Daily News. Ex-Red Sox catcher Kelly Shoppach apparently sent the text message to Henry using Gonzalez’s cell phone, the paper reported Sunday. Shoppach [...]
Solid Pitching Gives Red Sox Win in New York
Boston hasn’t been the best this year, but they finally managed to get another win against their arch rivals Saturday, winning 4-1 in New York. In another rare instance this season, the Sox actually drew first blood, spotting starter Jon Lester a lead before he even took the mound. Carl Crawford started the offense with [...]
Daniel Bard Making Everything Groovy For Pawtucket

Red Sox Mutiny Makes it Hard to Root for this Team

Pawtucket Red Sox Update, Week 19: Mauro Gomez Keeps PawSox in Contention
It was more mediocre baseball from the Pawtucket Red Sox this week, as the Sox posted a 3-4 record against divisional opponents as the season nears completion. After getting swept in Syracuse, Pawtucket bounced back to split four in Buffalo and now returns to Rhode Island to face the first place Yankees. On Friday, Danny [...]
Cell Phone Photo of Pedroia, Sleeping Bobby V Passed Around Clubhouse
Among the details in Jeff Passan’s bombshell report for Yahoo! on Tuesday was a report that a photo of Dustin Pedroia and Bobby Valentine was being circulated around the Red Sox clubhouse via text message. The source said that the photo shows Pedroia wagging his tongue with both thumbs up next to a sleeping Bobby [...]
Kelly Shoppach Traded to the Mets
Kelly Shoppach, the Sox backup catcher and rightful heir to Jason Varitek’s facial hair, has cleared waivers and been dealt to the New York Mets for the always exciting “player to be named later.” Shoppach has been as productive as a backup catcher could be [.250, 5 HR, .789 OPS], but his days were numbered [...]
Looking Back: Trade Deadline A Missed Opportunity for Red Sox to do…Something
The July 31st trade deadline should have been an opportunity for the seemingly paralyzed Red Sox to decide what direction the franchise is heading, both in this year and the ones to come. Two weeks later, however, that has still yet to happen. After essentially staying the same (not including the 100 pounds saved by swapping [...]
