Last week, the Red Sox signed left-handed reliever Justin Wilson for one year and $2.25 million, along with incremental bonuses that co...2143Mon, 18 Nov 2024 15:00:00 +0000https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox/roki-sasaki-sweepstakes-why-not-the-red-sox-r2140/The Japanese phenom will officially be posted sometime this offseason. It may feel inevitable that he’ll be wearing Dodger Blue come 2025, though Red Sox fans shouldn’t lose hope just yet.

What can he bring to the 2025 Red Sox? A few weeks ago, Boston decided to hire Dillon Lawson to the major league coaching staff after his one-year stint as the team’s m...2136Sat, 16 Nov 2024 14:10:00 +0000https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox/red-sox-sign-left-handed-reliever-justin-wilson-to-one-year-deal-r2134/Today, the Boston Red Sox made their first signing of this free agency period, looking to improve their options of left-handed relievers. Many hope this offseason will lead to multiple signings. The Red Sox have signed a one-year contract with left-handed reliever Justin Wilson.

How is that going to impact two high-profile pitchers returning in 2025? In 2024, the league threw four-seam fastballs 32.3% of the time. Boston pitchers, on the other hand, threw them 18.7% of the time, down from 26.1% in 2...2132Thu, 14 Nov 2024 11:53:01 +0000https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox/red-sox-trade-targets-devin-williams-the-best-reliever-in-the-national-league-r2131/With the Milwaukee Brewers declining to pick up the option for Devin Williams, it would make far too much sense for Craig Breslow and the Red Sox to pick up the phone and give the Brewers a call to see what it would take to get the ace closer to Boston.  Somewhat forgotten with the talk of a...2131Wed, 13 Nov 2024 11:51:02 +0000https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox/red-sox-free-agent-targets-corbin-burnes-the-wide-open-hole-atop-the-rotation-r2129/The Orioles ace has hit free agency for the first time in his career. Should the Red Sox attempt to weaken their division rival by signing the former Cy Young award winner? Though Corbin Burnes was traded to the Baltimore Orioles back in late January, the ace right-hander is well known as on...2129Mon, 11 Nov 2024 11:55:02 +0000https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox/red-sox-future-values-big-board-ranking-the-trade-value-of-red-sox-players-16-20-r2130/There will be much to talk about over this offseason if the front office is to be believed when they say they are primed to spend again. With that in mind, let's look at 20 of the top trade values within the Red Sox's system, starting with numbers 16 through 20.  The general consensus around...2130Sun, 10 Nov 2024 21:10:00 +0000https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox/a-plea-for-the-red-sox-to-sign-juan-soto-r2128/It's great to look for surplus value, to be strategic, and to sign players who suit your roster needs. But you know what else is great? Getting the best player on the market.  “It’s expensive to sign baseball players,” John Henry once said, much to the chagrin of Red Sox fans.
