Roman Anthony hasn’t played a major league baseball game since May 6th. He’s missed a finger sprain’s worth of wrist jokes, a managerial firing, a 15-game winning streak, and one of the more dramatic turnarounds in recent Red Sox memory. And as of August 18, he’s finally back on a baseball field — not at…
Five years after the Red Sox took Marcelo Mayer fourth overall in the MLB Draft— a pick some boards had rated as the best player in the class — his time in the organization ended with a trade day whimper. The trade? San Francisco gets Mayer. Boston gets lefty reliever Erik Miller and a Single-A…
The 2026 deadline arrives Monday at 6 p.m. ET, and for the first time in a while, Boston gets to walk into it as a buyer instead of a team hoping to salvage draft capital. A team that was 29-43 through 72 games is now living the kind of stretch front offices dream about —…
Boston has a decision to make before Monday’s 6 p.m. deadline, and it’s the kind of decision that can define a farm system for a decade. The front office is reportedly willing to put its No. 1 prospect, shortstop Franklin Arias, on the table for a rental shortstop upgrade. They shouldn’t do it. The Case…
We all got over the ‘Curse Of The Bambino’ eventually in 2004, and, well afterwards we were spoiled with another three. But let’s face facts. Its been eight years since the Red Sox have won a World Series. Sure for the lowly Padres or Rockies or Brewers that might sound like someone talking from a…

However, online access…
I remember heading to Sox games as a kid back in the 1980s. My old man would grab tickets from scalpers or the Box Office at Fenway park for next to nothing. I can’t remember what paid parking cost back then-maybe $5 or so? We usually ended up in one of the free parking lots…
I’ve compiled a list of the best Red Sox team by position. I know this is a contentious topic and that everyone has their own opinions, but these are the rankings based on my own (biased) research. Best Catcher Of All-Time: Jason Varitek Catchers must be able to call a game from behind home plate…
The Red Sox got the surprise of the 2021 MLB Draft by landing Marcelo Mayer at #4. Mayer had long been expected to be the #1 pick of the draft. Overall, it was a great draft for the Red Sox, and in my opinion, the Sox get an A- overall. Here are my thoughts…
Getting a number retired by any sports team is a significant accomplishment. Many shoot for the Hall of Fame as an end goal of a playing career, but getting a number retired could maybe be just as meaningful. When a number is ‘retired’ it means that that particular number can never again be used by…
After winning the 2018 World Series, the Boston Red Sox will be tasked with defending their title in 2019.

Boston will have some serious challenges to overcome if they want to get themselves back on top…
