All roster members who are on the 60-day injured list must be added to the 40-man roster for the postseason. As currently constructed, they will need to clear two additional roster spots to make room f...3688Fri, 30 Oct 2026 16:05:01 +0000https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox/forum-friday-pre-offseason-plans-2027-outlook-2026-postseason-speculation-offseason-uncertainties-r3690/Talk Sox's forums remained active as fans turned their attention to the Red Sox's future.

We already know just how outstanding of a defender he is in right field—he’s won back-to-back Gold Gloves and...3674Thu, 29 Oct 2026 10:57:02 +0000https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox/boston-red-sox-arbitration-decisions-projections-jarren-duran-r3673/Jarren Duran’s career has been equal parts exciting and frustrating. He’s a polarizing player who’s shown flashes of All-Star and even MVP upside, but has struggled to find consistency since a breakout 2024 season.  Remember, Duran was ranked as the Red Sox’s fourth-best prospect ahead of t...3673Wed, 28 Oct 2026 10:54:01 +0000https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox/red-soxs-focus-on-fastballs-led-to-mickey-gaspers-long-awaited-mlb-breakout-r3668/It was just 154 balls put in play in 225 plate appearances, which does not seem sufficient to be certain about his contact ability, but for Boston Red Sox slugger Mickey Gasper, it meant the first big opportunity earned since he debuted in the major leagues back in 2024. The journey for Gas...3668Tue, 27 Oct 2026 10:56:01 +0000https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox/boston-red-sox-arbitration-decisions-projections-triston-casas-r3669/It’s impossible to talk about Triston Casas without mentioning injuries. Boston’s first-round pick in 2018 and a once-highly touted prospect, Casas has largely faded into the background of the Red Sox organization.  It’s not without reason. He has played just one full season since his debut...3669Mon, 26 Oct 2026 10:54:01 +0000https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox/caleb-durbin-gave-the-red-sox-exactly-what-they-traded-for-r3666/In baseball, there is an old saying that the second year is even more difficult than the rookie one; there's a reason the "sophomore slump" still exists in our lexicon today. For Boston Red Sox third baseman Caleb Durbin, his start to Year 2 was puzzling, but he managed to find his rhythm before...3666Sun, 25 Oct 2026 16:04:01 +0000https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox/forum-friday-pre-offseason-plans-2027-outlook-offseason-questions-afl-performance-salary-cap-r3677/Talk Sox fans turned their attention to the forums, where the busiest threads covered everything from the Red Sox's playoff performance and management decisions to looks at the 2027 roster and offseason challenges.

The team allowed the third-fewest runs in baseball, but they ranked just 23rd in runs scored. If the Red Sox want to get past the Wild Card Round in 2027, their offense needs an upgrad...3675Fri, 23 Oct 2026 10:54:01 +0000https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox/jarren-durans-terrible-season-shouldnt-become-a-common-occurrence-but-the-red-sox-might-not-see-it-that-way-r3667/It is difficult to forget the recent image Jarren Duran left behind, being completely shut down by the New York Yankees pitchers for the second consecutive year in the Wild Card Series. His presence in the last two postseasons with the Boston Red Sox has been disappointing, finishing 1-for-14 wi...3667Thu, 22 Oct 2026 10:55:02 +0000https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox/willson-contreras-late-career-breakout-with-red-sox-has-all-the-hallmarks-of-sustainability-r3665/Willson Contreras' 2026 season ended with a walk in the ninth inning of Game 2 of the Wild Card Series against New York Yankees closer David Bednar. He finished that fateful elimination night for the Boston Red Sox going 2-for-2, reaching base in all four of his plate appearances.

It’s also not common for said 23-year-old to put up frontline starter numbers in what was arguably the best division in baseball this year. Nevertheless, that’s precisely what Payton Tolle and his beautiful mustache a...3658Tue, 20 Oct 2026 10:51:02 +0000
