First off, its not just that uniform #24 is suddenly available and Theo misses seeing it being used in the outfield. I honestly don’t think there is anything about a #24 that the Red Sox miss right now, even if Manny is cranking home runs out of Dodger Stadium at a record pace.
But there [...]

This story has been confirmed by nobody. It was reported nowhere. It is officially off the record - so far off that all it really is is my own pure speculation. But I’d bet on it. This is how these things work. You weigh decisions and pull the trigger once [...]

Yes, yes, we all know he’s no Manny Ramirez. But all that means is that he’ll actually run to first, play when he can, and hit nearly as well. This deal is by far not a good deal for the Red Sox - clearly they are giving up the most to make this [...]

The debate, if you really want to call it that, over whether the Red Sox should pick up Manny Ramirez’s options for the next two seasons, seems to have heated up recently. Manny has been in the press for all kinds of “problems” and “issues” lately, from the spat with Youkilis in the dugout, [...]

Today, the Nationals traded Emiliano Fruto, also known as some crappy relief pitcher from Colombia, to the Diamondbacks for Chris Carter who is then flipped to us to finish off the deal.
This is somewhat surprising, given that the players to be named later are often times named much, much later. But the Red Sox [...]

Its official, Eric Gagne is coming to Boston. Thank God! This is an amazingly great trade for the Red Sox. We are unloading our extra baggage (aside from Wily Mo) in sending Gabbard out while he still has some value as a major league pitcher along with David Murphy (no room for [...]

The Red Sox made a deal today, though not one any of us were expecting. In fact, this barely constitutes a deal. But nonetheless, the Joel Pinero era has officially ended. As seen here in a fairly ironic picture, the would-be closer of the 2007 Red Sox will now be starting games [...]

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. While it will be difficult for Red Sox fans to adhere to this adage as Tuesday’s trade deadline looms, it is crucial for Theo Epstein and company to maintain the idea. As stated in my last contribution to this blog, a healthy Sox team [...]

Hey bandwagon Gabbard fans, did you happen to see the 5th inning of last night’s game? Kason Gabbard blew up. He couldn’t even get out of the 5th in order to earn himself a win. This will happen many times when a pitcher is given such a commanding lead. They sit [...]

The News out of Pittsburgh is that the Pirates may be willing to give up Damaso Marte, and that the Red Sox are very interested. I’m not sure how much they really need another lefty specialist given that Okajima has been so outstanding and Javier Lopez has essentially become the one-out lefty. Of [...]
