The five-man rotation has been a staple in baseball going as far back as the 1960s, when teams began to move away fro...2243Fri, 10 Jan 2025 15:06:00 +0000https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox/red-sox-road-trip-no-1-from-arlington-to-baltimore-to-start-the-season-r2239/For the 2025 Boston Red Sox, the journey begins on the road, first to Arlington, Texas, to face the Rangers and then on to Baltimore to face the upstart Orioles.

Happy New Year, Red Sox Nation! I don't know about you, but the best thing about watching that ball drop at midnight was the ability to wash away the disappointment of the 2024 baseball season. This year brings with...2230Thu, 09 Jan 2025 16:07:01 +0000https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox/aj-minter-could-be-just-what-the-red-sox-bullpen-needs-r2244/The Red Sox could use a consistently solid left-handed reliever, and we all know they're not afraid to sign a pitcher who's coming off an injury. After spending the first eight years of his career in Atlanta, free agent reliever A.J. Minter may be on the move. The Red Sox appear to be a pote...2244Thu, 09 Jan 2025 15:00:01 +0000https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox/projecting-the-2025-red-sox-opening-day-roster-version-10-r2236/The moves came quickly for the Red Sox in December and there's a very strong argument to be made that the team is in a much better position now than they were heading into the 2024 season.
