This wasn’t the case 15 years ago. From 2010-19, league-wide stolen base totals steadily dropped. With the shortened pandemic season, they hit an all-time low, but in the following years, they started to make a com...2732Sat, 30 Aug 2025 10:53:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/pay-your-tolle-payton-tolles-promotion-proves-red-sox-are-going-all-in-this-season-r2734/News broke early Thursday night that their top pitching prospect, Payton Tolle, would be making his major league debut Friday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The move, Boston’s fifth promotion of a Top 100 prospect in their system this season, shows the organization's commitment to this te...2734Fri, 29 Aug 2025 10:56:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/lucas-giolito-has-a-looming-mutual-option-both-sides-should-be-interested-in-exercising-it-r2731/Lucas Giolito has an interesting decision coming at the end of the season. When he signed a two-year contract in Boston before the 2024 campaign, the team included a clause that would hopefully protect themselves in the event of another injury. Should Giolito pitch under 140 innings in 2025, the...2731Thu, 28 Aug 2025 10:50:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/brayan-bello-is-emerging-as-a-true-no-2-starter-r2728/When the Boston Red Sox extended right-handed pitcher Brayan Bello ahead of the 2024 season, it felt like a passing of the torch to a new era of frontline starting pitching in Boston. Between injuries, inconsistencies and off-the-field factors, it was an up-and-down season for the Dominican...2728Wed, 27 Aug 2025 10:52:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/red-sox-week-in-review-start-spreading-the-news%C2%A0-r2727/Weekly Snapshot Record Last Week: 3-3 Runs Scored Last Week: 27 Runs Surrendered Last Week: 21 Standings 2nd in the AL East 5 GB 1st Place 1st AL Wild Card Berth Scores Game 126 (8/18) | BAL 6, BOS 3 Game 127 (8/19) | BAL 4, BOS 3 Game 128 (...2727Tue, 26 Aug 2025 21:06:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/after-a-dominating-start-its-clear-that-payton-tolle-is-the-real-deal-r2726/On a late August night where the temperature began to cool as summer slowly began its transition to fall, the top prospect in the Red Sox system continued to heat up. Dominating in just his third start with Triple-A Worcester, Payton Tolle demonstrated why he’s earned the distinction of the best...2726Tue, 26 Aug 2025 10:58:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/trevor-story-makes-history-by-joining-2020-club-r2725/On Saturday, Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story eclipsed the 20-homer plateau for the sixth time in his major league career, taking a Will Warren sinker to the opposite field in Boston's 12-1 drubbing of the archrival New York Yankees.   In doing so, the 32-year-old became the...2725Sun, 24 Aug 2025 19:04:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/evil-empire-meet-the-roman-empire-red-soxs-star-rookie-makes-grand-introduction-to-yankees-rivalry-r2723/Technically, Roman Anthony had already drawn nine at-bats against the New York Yankees in his brief yet stunning major league career when he stepped to the plate in the ninth inning of Thursday night's affair. Five came in the last meeting between the two teams -- shortly after Anthony was calle...2723Sun, 24 Aug 2025 10:50:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/a-look-under-the-hood-roman-anthony-and-alex-bregman-are-quite-similar-hitters-r2724/Roman Anthony has been as advertised, without a doubt. The young phenom rarely looks overmatched at the plate, puts swings on pitches that some veteran big leaguers would gawk at, and has adapted to play both corner outfield spots whenever he’s asked. What is maybe even more impressive, though,...2724Sat, 23 Aug 2025 10:55:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/steven-matz-has-quietly-been-a-great-acquisition-r2721/Once the trade deadline passed, the fallout in Boston seemed to be centered around the acquisition of Dustin May, and a lack of further buy-in from the Red Sox front office. There was, however, little to no discourse surrounding the acquisition of veteran reliever Steven Matz.  Matz, 34, is...2721Fri, 22 Aug 2025 13:06:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/keep-your-password-secure-jhostynxon-garcia-brings-something-different-to-the-red-soxs-outfield-r2722/There has rarely been a player with a nickname more apt than Jhostynxon Garcia. The Red Sox's third-best prospect is finally on his way to the big leagues, though ask anyone to spell or pronounce (Yos-TIN-son) his first name, and you'll likely be met with a lot of shrugs or botched attempts...2722Fri, 22 Aug 2025 10:54:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/ceddanne-rafaela-needs-to-play-center-field-for-the-remainder-of-the-season-r2714/I get what Alex Cora is trying to do by playing Ceddanne Rafaela at second from time to time. It allows for everyone jumbled in the outfield logjam, minus Rob Refsnyder, to play at the same time, and that should mean that the offense is as potent as possible. Roman Anthony gets to play his futur...2714Thu, 21 Aug 2025 12:36:02 +0000
