These guys and probably more all sit on an illustrious list for recent Red Sox Nation history: Active Hall of Famer. I’m kidding. Seriously though, in recent memory the Red … [Read more...] about Is Abraham Toro the next Red Sox Active Hall of Famer?

At the end of May, Jared Carrabis was sharing an interesting and unfortunate tidbit he received from a buddy who goes by Black Irish. It was relevant after the Sox passed the 60 game mark a week … [Read more...] about These Red Sox have a chance to do something no Red Sox team has ever done before

Kim Klement Neitzel-Imagn Images Four hits for the young shortstop as Worcester wins by ten runs. What’s the saying? When the farm is away, the Red Sox will play? For those looking for a game in New England to go to tonight, you’re not in luck.... the Red Sox are off and every farm team is on the road. But, don’t worry, every squad got at least one win yesterday, Major … [Read more...] about Minor Lines 6/11: Have a day, Vaughn Grissom!

Photo by Maddie Malhotra/Boston Red Sox/Getty Images It’s a day for the Sox to rest and recharge before an intense and difficult stretch of games through the middle of the month. It’s Thursday, which means the Sox are off as they will be for every Thursday but one between now and August 21st.

Photo by Stephen Maturen/Getty Images Look, bullpen beggars can’t be choosers. Who is he and where did he come from?

The Red Sox and the Big Three have done what looked almost impossible to do: they’ve stopped the bleeding. In ten games in June the Sox are 6-4 with two series wins. If we back up to the sweep at the hands of the … [Read more...] about With Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer here, what’s the ideal Red Sox lineup?

Paul Rutherford-Imagn Images Are the Sox back? Almost back?? The Sox just had back-to-back series wins against AL East opponents!

David Butler II-Imagn Images Will the goodness of yesterday spill over into today? As stinky as Game 1 of this series ended up being, Game 2’s win was a lot cleaner and a lot more fun to watch, with everything clicking offensively, defensively, and pitching-wise even with only 3 runs to the Sox’s credit.

Photo by Kelly O’Connor. Bad pun aside, the recent promotions have allowed some new grounds (another bad pun) to travel across the farm. Still sticking with me in the minor lines even though all three of last year’s hot prospects (well, actually, four, since even Chicago brought up Kyle Teel) have been promoted? Well, if you’re here for Blaze Jordan, he had a multi-hit … [Read more...] about Minor Lines 6/10: Isaac Coffey brews up a win
