In desperate need of bullpen help, the Boston Red Sox have discussed a trade with the New York Mets that would land them relief pitcher Edwin Diaz, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB Network. Buster Olney of ESPN adds that the Red Sox could include third base prospect Bobby Dalbec or corner infield prospect Triston […]

The 2019 MLB Trade Deadline is one week from Wednesday, and the “Hot Stove” is certainly heating up. Contenders around the league are gauging the value of various players in the hopes that one or two additions might help them reach the playoffs. One of the most underrated aspects of the upcoming deadline, however, is […]

The Boston Red Sox are in search of relief help, and two names on their radar are San Diego Padres closer Kirby Yates and Toronto Blue Jays closer Ken Giles, according to Jon Morosi of MLB.com. Yates has made 41 appearances for the Padres this season, tallying 31 saves while logging a minuscule 1.05 ERA. […]

The 2019 MLB Trade Deadline is just 10 days away, and the Boston Red Sox are looking at a number of players as they hope to gain ground in the American League East. One of those players is Toronto Blue Jays starter Marcus Stroman, who the Red Sox actually scouted on Friday in Toronto’s game […]

The Boston Red Sox have activated right-handed pitcher Nathan Eovaldi from the 60-day injured list, according to Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe. As a corresponding move, the Red Sox sent fellow righty Ryan Weber to Triple-A Pawtucket. Eovaldi started just four games for Boston earlier this season before having to undergo arthroscopic surgery to […]

The Boston Red Sox seem to be one of a few teams monitoring the availability Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu, according to Phil Rogers of Forbes Sports. Abreu, who made the All-Star team, currently owns a slash line of .271/.306/.492 with 21 home runs and 68 RBI over 405 plate appearances, so he […]

All across the MLB, teams are focusing their drafting and developing efforts on shoring up the core of their team, emphasizing the quality of players up the middle. From catcher to pitcher, then from second baseman/shortstop to center field, teams are taking an up the middle approach to filling out their franchises. Looking at the […]

When the Boston Red Sox won the 2018 World Series, they proved why they were one of the best teams in the history of Major League Baseball. With a potent offense led by American League MVP Mookie Betts and a pitching staff anchored by Chris Sale, the Red Sox were one of the most well-balanced […]

By showing its strength again by winning yet another All-Star game, the American League is gearing up for the second half of the 2019 MLB season, looking to make it three in a row for World Series championships. As it currently sits, there are eight teams that have an above .500 record, which is shaping […]

The halfway point in the 2019 MLB season has come and gone, and as teams gear up for the dog days of summer, there are some organizations that may have more to play for than others. Heading into Spring Training, there were plenty of exciting storylines. Whether fans chose to follow the retooled teams in […]

Undergoing a pretty disappointing season, the Boston Red Sox currently sit 11 games back (that is not a misprint) of the first-place New York Yankees and 7 back of the second-place Tampa Bay Rays. Coming off of a very successful season that culminated in the BoSox winning the 2018 World Series over the Los Angeles […]

Just when it seemed like the Boston Red Sox were on the verge of busting loose, they have merely held water in the American League East. The Red Sox have climbed back above .500 and were 40-35 entering play on June 19, but they have hardly gone on that kind of run that seemed to […]

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has sent his well-wishes to Boston Red Sox legend, David Ortiz. Brady took to Twitter to wish Ortiz a speedy recovery on Monday. Papi defines Boston Strong… get well soon my friend!!! pic.twitter.com/QFFJ4nvQnU — Tom Brady (@TomBrady) June 10, 2019 According to CDN 37 of the Dominican Republic (via […]

It is safe to say that the 2018 Boston Red Sox will go down as one of the greatest teams in baseball history. After winning a franchise record 108 games in the regular season and watching Mookie Betts become the American League MVP, the Red Sox went 11-2 in the playoffs and romped their way […]

Normally, third place in the division standings is nothing to write home about, especially in the sport of baseball. However, if you are the Boston Red Sox, third place in the American League East looks fantastic compared to how they have been playing to open up the 2019 MLB season. Struggling out of the gates […]

The Boston Red Sox were supposed to be in “serious trouble.” The defending World Series champions had gotten off to the worst start of any defending champ since the 1998 Marlins, a team that would totally implode just one year after winning the title in 1997. Mookie Betts and Andrew Benintendi were not hitting like […]

Injuries, injuries, injuries – the big thing holding back the 2019 version of the New York Yankees. An aspect that not even money can avoid, this team’s Injury List resembles something of a shopping list with how many different line items are on it. Striking their team hard to begin the year, 13 different Yankees […]

The current standings for the American League East have a surprising team leading the charge: the Tampa Bay Rays. A surprise to most, but not necessarily a shock to those on the team or directly involved with the rebuilding franchise. Last season, the Rays put up a staggering amount of victories in the AL with […]

With the onslaught of offensive outputs and high-scoring games dominating the league last season, the MLB is hoping that pitching staffs can overcome their obvious disadvantage and bring the game back down to a feasible level that sees more teams having to be more tactical and technical in their game management. While sending players up […]

The 2019 MLB season has already been filled with surprises. The Seattle Mariners–the preeminent “sellers” of this past offseason–have the best record in the bigs. The Red Sox, Yankees and Astros all have losing records. The Chicago Cubs lead the majors in batting average and on-base percentage, and yet have stumbled out of the gate […]

Boston Red Sox ace Chris Sale commanded headlines for all the right reasons over the past few months. From a profanity-laced dugout tirade that propelled the Red Sox to a win in Game 4 of the World Series to getting the final out in Game 5 and subsequently signing a five-year extension with the club, […]

Even with the all of the money that has been thrown around these past few weeks by MLB teams to lock up their players, there still are certain major leaguers who are not being paid what they deserve, due to their potential and their production so far. Mostly early in their careers, franchises are still […]

With the constant stream of money being funneled to players recently in the MLB, big-time contracts are being handed out to any players who have been on the level of what a superstar is. Bryce Harper, Manny Machado, Nolan Arenado, Mike Trout, Blake Snell, and Paul Goldschmidt have all been forced into a new tax […]

The Boston Red Sox have agreed to a five-year extension with left-handed ace Chris Sale: That’s our ace. #SaleDay pic.twitter.com/Ri3P4UGlCW — Red Sox (@RedSox) March 23, 2019 Ace Chris Sale and the Boston Red Sox are in agreement on a five-year contract extension in the $150 million range, pending a physical, league sources tell ESPN. […]

Coming into the 2019 MLB season, there is a definitive pecking order in terms of who is expected to compete for divisional crowns and beyond, and who is expected to compete for the first overall selection in the 2020 draft. Certain regulars, like the Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, and Houston […]

Opening Day is on the horizon, and one of the greatest closers in the modern era remains unsigned. That’s right, Craig Kimbrel is still unemployed. The 30-year-old notched 42 saves and won a World Series with the Boston Red Sox last season, but he also struggled mightily. Kimbrel allowed seven runs in just over 10 […]

Starting pitchers, or all pitchers for that matter, across the MLB are facing a bit of a crisis over the course of the past few seasons. Hitters are becoming more powerful, increasing their bat speed and launch angles through analytics to boost their averages and home runs totals. But pitching is in good hands, as […]

Coming off a season that resulted in yet another World Series championship earned, the Boston Red Sox do not have that many areas that need to be improved. However, their bullpen, after inevitably losing Craig Kimbrel (even though he still remains unsigned) will need to reshuffle and figure out who will slot in at the […]

Coming off a magical season that ended with another World Series title for the franchise, the Boston Red Sox have visions of a repeat on their minds going into Spring Training in 2019. Coming off a championship victory, there are surprising moves that can make or break clubs in their first season post-championship. Riding on […]

The top of the American League East featured a pair of teams in the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees that won over 100 games in 2018, including three AL East teams that won at least 90 games. The Red Sox won a franchise record 108 games and defeated the Yankees in the ALDS […]

Last season, the Boston Red Sox set a club record with 108 wins and were the best team in the MLB from wire-to-wire, losing just two games in the postseason on their way to the ninth World Series title in franchise history. No team has repeated as a World Series champion since the Yankees dynasty […]

After a disappointing end to their 2018 season came in the form of losing to the eventual World Series champion Boston Red Sox, the New York Yankees are looking for revenge and improvements for their 2019 season. In an act to make it back to the promised land, the franchise has made the typical bold […]

In an era where free agency does not necessarily mean more money, high-octane closer Craig Kimbrel highlights the crop of relievers looking for a new team for the 2019 season. While other mid-tier arms have secured new contracts, Kimbrel still remains on the market. Any team that Kimbrel would join should immediately pencil in 10-15 […]

Arguably the best option left on the market, starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel still remains a free agent with less than three weeks to go before spring training starts. Normally an anomaly for big-ticket free agents to sign early on to the highest bidder, the past season began an unusual trend in which middle-tier free agents […]

In a tweet from Mass Live beat writer Chris Cotillo, it sounds like the Boston Red Sox are still not a contender for closer Craig Kimbrel. Cotillo mentioned that Dave Dombrowski, the Boston Red Sox President of Baseball Operations, repeated that they are not looking to spend a lot of money on a closer this […]

Paying for victories has always been the mantra of the New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs for the last decade-plus, with the Boston Red Sox sprinkled in here and there. But after paying its way to being crowned as 2018 World Series champions, it is fair to add the Red Sox to […]

Nathan Eovaldi was a huge part of the Boston Red Sox in the latter half of the 2018 MLB season. He was also a key piece of their run to a World Series win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. It was an impressive run for him in Boston and the two sides would like to […]

The Boston Red Sox have won the World Series over the LA Dodgers. And NBA stars — both of the present and the past — flocked online to vent out their reactions. Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors tweeted while on board a plane. Apparently, the sharpshooting guard is a big fan of the […]

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady seems to have the perfect method for losing weight. The NFL MVP has is own “TB12 resistance bands” and it’s currently working not just for football athletes. Boston Red Sox designated hitter Hanley Ramirez has jumped on the Brady method and recently showed off the amazing results. According to […]
