The statistics may not fully support that, but the eye test proves it. When he steps up to the plate, you feel confident that he’s going to come through and make contact. He’s a Gold Glove right fielder and should be in the conve...2509Fri, 23 May 2025 10:53:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/carlos-narvaez-should-be-the-red-soxs-starting-catcher-for-the-foreseeable-future-r2507/I believe I can say with a decent amount of confidence that when the Red Sox traded for Carlos Narvaez, there was little reason to suspect he would make an impact on the big league club. The team had just recently traded top catching prospect Kyle Teel in a blockbuster deal for Garrett Crochet....2507Thu, 22 May 2025 10:55:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/is-kristian-campbell-the-answer-to-the-red-soxs-first-base-problem-r2506/Although Kristian Campbell has had a few days off in a row, there’s reason to believe that he could solve the biggest hole in the infield at the moment. Starting with the game Friday against the Braves, Campbell was practicing infield drills at first base.  When asked about it, Campbell sai...2506Wed, 21 May 2025 10:55:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/when-tanner-houck-returns-where-will-he-fit-in-with-the-current-pitching-staff-r2505/Tanner Houck had a career year last season for the Red Sox, logging a 3.12 ERA, 154 strikeouts, and nine wins all while 178 2/3 innings, 72 more than his previous highest. Those marks the Red Sox reasons to be encouraged for the 2025 season, and adding Garrett Crochet gave the team a stellar one...2505Tue, 20 May 2025 10:55:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/jarren-durans-defense-could-get-him-shipped-out-of-boston-r2504/Anyone connected to the Boston Red Sox in some capacity wanted Jarren Duran to return to his All-Star, MVP-vote-getting 2024 form when the 2025 season began. So far, about a quarter of the way through the season, we’ve all been left wanting much, much more. Sure, I’ll give you that Duran hit a t...2504Mon, 19 May 2025 10:55:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/new-bullpen-addition-nick-burdi-has-had-quite-the-baseball-career-r2503/Nick Burdi made his Boston debut Friday night as he threw seven pitches, five of them strikes, to get out of a bases-loaded jam in the ninth inning. While his final stat line of just a third of an inning pitched isn’t that fascinating, the story behind him making it to the Red Sox is. Burdi, now...2503Sun, 18 May 2025 10:57:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/trevor-story-needs-to-head-to-the-bench-r2502/Since I started writing here at Talk Sox, I think I’ve written more about Trevor Story than any other player on the roster. My first article detailed my desire to see him traded, my second wondered if he could contribute in 2025, and my third stated he wasn’t passing the eye test. That’s a...2502Fri, 16 May 2025 13:04:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/the-red-sox-have-a-strikeout-problem-with-runners-in-scoring-position-r2501/More than 40 games into the season, the Red Sox lead the league in total strikeouts with RISP and are fourth worst in K% with RISP. Despite this frustrating lack of contact in high-leverage situations, the Sox still rank in the top 10 in runs scored this season and in the top three in runs...2501Fri, 16 May 2025 10:58:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/alex-coras-seat-should-be-getting-warm-but-he-needs-more-time-r2498/There’s some validity to the thought that Alex Cora’s seat should be getting hotter and hotter by the day. He’s managing a team that should have a record well above .500. The team made significant improvements in the offseason by bringing in Garrett Crochet, Walker Buehler, Aroldis Chapman, and...2498Thu, 15 May 2025 22:18:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/jarren-durans-new-batting-stance-is-worrisome-r2499/The Red Sox are over a quarter of the way through the 2025 season, and something seems off. Amidst the never-ending Devers drama, other stories are being swept under the rug. Many fans questioned whether or not Jarren Duran would replicate his breakout 2024 performance. Unfortunately, Duran is o...2499Thu, 15 May 2025 10:50:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/tanner-houck-may-be-pitching-his-way-out-of-the-red-soxs-rotation-r2496/Boston, we have a problem. That problem? Tanner Houck. Sure, there have been flashes of the pitcher from early 2024 that dominated and befuddled opposing hitters, but the proof is in the pudding: Houck is pitching his was into obscurity. After the second time this season that he gave u...2496Wed, 14 May 2025 10:53:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/aroldis-chapman-has-rediscovered-how-to-be-a-closer-r2493/When the Red Sox signed Aroldis Chapman during the offseason, it was met with quite a bit of skepticism. Over the last handful of years, he had shown signs of aging and was no longer the lights out closer that so many knew him to be. He’s been in the league for an impressive 16 seasons, and many...2493Tue, 13 May 2025 10:56:02 +0000
