The Red Sox could be close to signing veteran starter Hiroki Kuroda to a short-term deal.  Kuroda would fill in the 4-5 slot along side Daniel Bard and after Josh Beckett, Clay Buchholz and Jon Lester.  Kuroda is durable despite being 36-years old – he has made at least 30 starts in each of the [...]

GM Ben Cherington has all but said the Red Sox will not go after a big name starting pitcher free agent like C.J. Wilson or Mark Buehrle.  So does that mean Daniel Bard is a “lock” to become a starter in 2012?  We’ll have to see how it all plays out, but that could be [...]

Amidst rumors of discontent with his hiring, new Skipper Bobby Valentine is ready to speak with his new players. Valentine is already down in the Dominican Republic as we discussed yesterday to “recruit” free agent slugger David Ortiz.  Next up is pitcher Josh Beckett who had been critical of this past baseball season.  After that, [...]

What really happened and what really brought about the Red Sox September swoon in which they blew a 9-game lead over the Tampa Bay Rays to fail to make the post-season for the 2nd year in a row?  These are 2 questions for which we’ll probably never really  know the truth. The Boston Globe addressed [...]

Plain and simple – the future is still bright for the Red Sox organization.  Despite the monumental collapse in which the Red Sox lost 20 of their final 27 games to become the 1st major league team to blow a 9-game September lead and miss the post-season.  Despite the parting of ways with 8-year manager [...]

Unbelievable – the O’s beat the Red Sox 6-3 on Monday pushing the Sox into a wild card tie with the Tampa Bay Rays with 2 games to play.  The Red Sox have now lost 17 of their last 22 games.  They led the Rays by 9 games when play started on September 3rd, but [...]

Not the way you want to play on get-away day, especially when it’s Sunday Night ESPN baseball and you have a game in Baltimore the next night.  The Red Sox out-lasted the Rays in 16 innings last night/this morning, beating the Rays 1-0 on Dustin Pedroia’s 2-out single.  Josh Reddick led off the inning with [...]

As we discussed yesterday, Beckett was not able to pitch in the All-Star game because of recurring left knee soreness. The Red Sox open the 2nd half of the season on Friday night against the Rays in Tampa Bay.  Andrew Miller – 3-0 with a 3.57 ERA – will square off against David Price.

The Red Sox players had very little impact in the A.L.’s 5-1 loss to the N.L. in last night’s All-Star Game.  As we discussed yesterday, the Red Sox sent 6 players to the mid-summer classic. Adrian Gonzalez started at 1B and batted 3rd for the A.L. squad.  Gonzalez accounted for the lone A.L. run with [...]

The Red Sox will have 6 representatives at tonight’s All-Star Game at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona. Adrian Gonzalez and David Ortiz were both voted in as starters to the A.L. squad. Josh Beckett and Jon Lester were named as pitching All-Stars, but since Lester is on the DL, he will not be pitching in [...]
