He struggled, but there were flashes that showed his ceiling is still high enough to be considered a number two or three option for the Boston Red Sox. He tossed four innin...3142Thu, 02 Apr 2026 10:53:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/red-soxs-roster-manipulation-puts-spotlight-squarely-on-the-reserves-r3136/Opening Day roster decisions are easy to forget once the games begin. Most of the attention shifts to the stars, the top of the lineup, and the front of the rotation. But the edge of a roster can reveal something more important — it can show how a team plans to survive the games that do not go c...3136Wed, 01 Apr 2026 16:00:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/johan-oviedos-red-sox-debut-waved-too-many-red-flags-r3138/The Boston Red Sox acquired Johan Oviedo during the offseason with the hopes that he could be a prominent option in the starting rotation. There's always been a bit of a question mark surrounding Oviedo due to his prior health issues, but the ceiling is sky high, at least if he can throw more st...3138Wed, 01 Apr 2026 10:57:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/garrett-crochets-opening-day-masterpiece-featured-less-pitch-diversity-than-promised-r3135/Garrett Crochet left all spring-training-related concerns by the wayside on Opening Day, striking out eight while allowing three hits and two walks. Despite a swinging strike rate of only 12.5%, Crochet limited hard-contact throughout the outing with an opponent barrel rate of 7.1% and xAVG of ....3135Mon, 30 Mar 2026 10:51:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/aroldis-chapmans-opening-day-save-left-slight-room-for-concern-r3133/Aroldis Chapman closed out Opening Day’s victory in typical Chapman fashion. He carried himself with the confidence and swagger you want from the man tasked with shutting the door on the opposition night after night. He tossed 11 pitches to claim his first save of the season, but something felt...3133Fri, 27 Mar 2026 22:07:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/boston-red-sox-2026-position-analysis-shortstop-r3099/The Boston Red Sox have been searching for stability at the shortstop position for quite some time. You can trace it all back to December 2022, when mainstay Xander Bogaerts departed for the sunny climate of San Diego. With that, the surprising signing of Trevor Story a few months earlier became...3099Fri, 27 Mar 2026 10:54:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/masataka-yoshidas-undefined-role-doesnt-mean-hes-out-of-place-with-red-sox-r3106/From the moment it became clear that the Boston Red Sox would enter the 2025 season with Alex Bregman as their starter at third base and Rafael Devers as their designated hitter, close observers of the team have fretted over Masataka Yoshida's role in Boston. Yoshida is a left-handed-hitting out...3106Thu, 26 Mar 2026 13:07:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/boston-red-sox-opening-day-2026-primer-r3129/At long last, the offseason is officially over. A memorable World Baseball Classic helped bridge the gap between last year's painful postseason exit and today, but nothing invites optimism to Boston like MLB Opening Day.
