Jeremy Hermida Looking Forward to 2010 MLB Schedule

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 [...]

Red Sox Sign Hideki Okajima to 1-year, $2.75 Million Deal

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 [...]

Closure on Bay Front – Slugger Signs with Mets

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 [...]

Jason Bay Update – Sort of…

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, [...]

Red Sox Could Up Offer to Jason Bay?!

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 [...]

Mixed Boat with John Lackey

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 [...]

Red Sox Keep Adding Pieces – Mike Cameron Onboard

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 [...]

Red Sox – Arbitration-Eligible Contracts to be Tendered this Weekend

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 [...]

Red Sox Acquire Jeremy Hermida from Florida Marlins

The Boston Red Sox acquired Jeremy Hermida from the Florida Marlins on Thursday.  Great move, buying low with a solid upside for a 25-year old ballplayer.  Hermida has a career batting average of .265, with 57 HR’s and 210 RBI’s.  In 2009, Hermida batted .259 with 13 HR’s, 47 RBI’s and a .348 on-base percentage.  [...]
