GM Theo Epstein kept his streak intact – by signing Jeremy Hermida to a 1-year deal today, Epstein & Co. will make it 8 straight years without going to arbitration with any player.  Hermida was the final arbitration-eligible Red Sox player still looking for his 2010 deal.
Hermida will back up the Red Sox starting trio [...]

Four Red Sox players filed for arbitration on Friday – Jonathan Papelbon, Manny Delcarmen, Ramon Ramirez and Jeremy Hermida.  The Red Sox and each of the 4 players have until Tuesday to reach an agreement on a new contract.  If the 2 sides do not reach an agreement then each side will submit a dollar [...]

Jeremy Hermida is looking forward to the 2010 MLB schedule for the Red Sox.  With the off-season signing of Mike Cameron, Hermida now knows that Cameron will play center field, Jacoby Ellsbury will play left field in front of Fenway’s Green Monster and J.D. Drew will play right field.  He also knows that because of [...]

The Boston Red Sox agreed to a 1-year, $2.75 million deal with reliever Hideki Okajima this week.  There are also incentive bonuses in place based upon the number of appearances Okajima makes during the 2010 MLB schedule – an additional $50,000 @ 55 games, 60 games, 65 games and 70 games.  Red Sox GM Theo [...]

At least he isn’t in the AL.  Jason Bay signed with the New York Mets today, bringing some closure to the Red Sox pursuit of the free agent slugger.  Bay played a great year and a half for the Red Sox, but his age and the dollar amount desired proved too much for the Red [...]

As we reported over the weekend, the Red Sox have considered making another run at Jason Bay to play left field in front of the Green Monster at Fenway Park.  With the new $15.5 million Mike Cameron deal and J.D. Drew still on the books at $14 million per season for the next 2 seasons, [...]

Rumors out of “free agent camp” are that the Red Sox could up their offer for Jason Bay to keep playing left field in front of the Green Monster at Fenway Park.  Supposedly, the Red Sox had offered Bay a 4-year, $60 million deal at some point this year.  The Red Sox could be willing [...]

With the 5-year, $82.5+ million deal on the books with John Lackey, the Red Sox have answered the call made by the New York Yankees in 2008 when they signed both CC Sabathia and A. J. Burnett off the free agent market.  Sabathia and Burnett combined to win 32 games for the Yankees in 2009 [...]

The Boston Red Sox keep adding pieces to the puzzle, signing Mike Cameron to a 2-year deal worth around $15.5 million.  Seems a bit much for a soon-to-be 37-year old center fielder, but he will be patroling left field in front of the Green Monster, a good indication that the Red Sox don’t think they [...]

The Boston Red Sox are expected to offer contracts to all but one of their arbitration-eligible players for the 2010 MLB schedule.  The lone exception is likely Brian Anderson who the team acquired mid-year from the Chicago White Sox in a deal sending Mark Kotsay to the midwest.  With the off-season trade for Jeremy Hermida [...]
