Following their first postseason appearance since 2021, Boston will once again turn to a new face at the hot corner in 2026, this time in the form of Caleb Durbin. Despi...3115Sun, 22 Mar 2026 13:05:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/boston-red-sox-position-analysis-center-field-r3113/Heading into the 2026 season, one could argue that the center field position for the Boston Red Sox is toward, if not at the top, of the list of positions the team and fans should have the fewest amount of questions about. Finally a Gold Glove winner after a phenomenal defensive campaign in 2025...3113Sat, 21 Mar 2026 12:02:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/boston-red-sox-2026-position-analysis-catcher-r3094/Over the course of the last several years, the Boston Red Sox have gone through their fair share of catchers, as the position has not been the primary focus of the front office. The most consistent the position has been was from 2016-2022, when the duo of Christian Vasquez and Sandy Leon split t...3094Thu, 19 Mar 2026 11:52:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/boston-red-sox-2026-position-analysis-first-base-r3097/After a near-constant revolving door at first base over the past few seasons, the Boston Red Sox believe they have found their answer at the cold corner for the next couple of seasons thanks to a trade that sent starting pitching back to the St. Louis Cardinals. The team is hoping to get far mor...3097Wed, 18 Mar 2026 12:54:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/boston-red-sox-2026-position-analysis-designated-hitter-r3087/Designated hitter is arguably the most convoluted position in the Boston Red Sox’s lineup as we head into the 2026 season. That spot seems like it is primed to help the team kick the can down the road even further while they try to figure out how to knock loose the outfield logjam. Now, having t...3087Mon, 16 Mar 2026 10:51:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/red-sox-notes-danny-coulombes-belated-signing-romy-gonzalezs-disastrous-injury-r3091/Opening Day is less than two weeks away, and the Boston Red Sox's plans for the regular season are coming into focus. As players return from the World Baseball Classic, the team will be able to continue cutting players from major-league camp and fine tuning the roster. Of course, baseball j...3091Sat, 14 Mar 2026 11:35:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/why-brayan-bello-returned-to-spring-training-following-one-wbc-start-r3089/Following just one start in the 2026 World Baseball Classic, Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Brayan Bello decided to return to camp in Fort Myers and will not pitch anymore. "We only need three more starters, and he needs to throw, so we sent him back to camp with the Red Sox," said Dominic...3089Sat, 14 Mar 2026 02:21:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/the-fastest-man-on-earth-plays-for-the-boston-red-sox-r3079/If you were to have Braiden Ward and Usain Bolt (at his peak) race, some Boston Red Sox fans may say that the former would have a chance to win that matchup. As hyperbolic as that sounds, that’s just how exciting Ward has looked while on the basepaths this spring. Nearly halfway through march, W...3079Thu, 12 Mar 2026 15:30:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/red-sox-heights-which-players-got-taller-or-shorter-this-season-r3068/Professional athletes are just like us! They fib about their height. (For reference, I’m 5’6” on a good day.) Using data courtesy of Sox Stats, we can see which Red Sox players have shrunk (spoiler: most of them) or have grown.  Ceddanne Rafaela, Justin Gonzalez, and Nelly Taylor are...3068Wed, 11 Mar 2026 12:47:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/andruw-monasterio-is-making-a-strong-case-to-crack-the-opening-day-roster-r3063/Andruw Monasterio may have been a relatively unknown quantity that came over in the trade that brought Caleb Durbin to Boston, but his spring training performance has thrust him into the Opening Day roster conversation. He has quickly established himself as a go-to option for Alex Cora and that...3063Wed, 11 Mar 2026 10:53:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/red-sox-expectation-setting-what-fans-can-reasonably-hope-for-from-ceddanne-rafaela-in-2026-r3045/Ceddanne Rafaela had an impressive 2025 that was filled with ups and downs, as the phenomenal defender won his first of what should be many Gold Gloves in center field. However, there were times that let fans rather upset with his inconsistency at the plate. With the loss of Alex Bregman, Rafael...3045Mon, 09 Mar 2026 10:50:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/consistency-over-versatility-how-the-red-sox-are-handling-marcelo-mayer-and-caleb-durbin-so-far-r3049/It wouldn’t be a Boston Red Sox spring training without a competition for second base. Last year, Kristian Campbell ultimately won out and made the Opening Day roster but failed to make a lasting impact during the 2025 season. This year, though, it’s different. We have a general idea of who will...3049Sat, 07 Mar 2026 13:09:02 +0000
