This lack of a timeframe to return gives the front office time to consider what to do wit...2444Fri, 18 Apr 2025 15:07:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/the-red-sox-catching-woes-run-very-very-deep-r2445/So I had this hunch. I'm going to tell you about it. The other day, MassLive’s Chris Cotillo wrote that even after signing Yasmani Grandal, the Red Sox might still be exploring other catcher options. I was advocating for the Red Sox to sign Grandal basically since the 2024 season ended, so...2445Fri, 18 Apr 2025 10:58:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/whats-wrong-with-tanner-houck-r2440/Monday night saw the Boston Red Sox get completely destroyed by the Tampa Bay Rays, losing 16-1. While it was an ugly game all around, it was especially bad for starter Tanner Houck. Houck struggled from the get-go and failed to make it out of the third inning. In total, Houck pitched 2 1/3 inni...2440Thu, 17 Apr 2025 10:58:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/alex-cora-takes-the-blame-but-theres-plenty-to-go-around-r2439/When Alex Cora sat down in front of the NESN cameras after the Red Sox lost 16-1 to the Rays, he was ready to take ownership of the on-field failures. “It seems like there was a team that was prepared for the other one and the other one wasn’t prepared for them," he said. "That goes from top all...2439Wed, 16 Apr 2025 10:50:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/can-garrett-whitlock-rediscover-his-2021-dominance-r2436/Garrett Whitlock is finally back in the bullpen, where he is hoping to return to his best playing days. After the Red Sox selected him in Rule 5 draft in December 2020, Whitlock lit the world on fire in 2021. His appearances became appointment television. It was rare to see a pitcher so young wi...2436Tue, 15 Apr 2025 14:04:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/richard-fitts-injury-pushes-red-sox-pitching-depth-even-further-r2437/On Sunday, the Red Sox announced that they had moved rookie starter Richard Fitts on the 15-day injured list due to a mild right pectoral strain. To take his spot on the roster, the Red Sox called up Michael Fulmer, who signed a two-year minor league deal in February 2024, to take Fitts spot on...2437Tue, 15 Apr 2025 10:51:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/the-red-sox-hit-seven-monster-balls-during-their-first-homestand-r2429/If there’s one thing I love about watching the Red Sox, it’s seeing, and especially hearing, a hard-hit ball banging off the Green Monster. Baseball is a rich text, a game of endless nuance. If you can’t find something to be fascinated by during a baseball game, that’s on you. But at the same ti...2429Mon, 14 Apr 2025 10:54:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/brayan-bello-pitches-third-rehab-start-on-a-cold-worcester-night-r2432/Following the start, Bello said he was “ready for whatever” and that he felt “100% healthy”, an encouraging sign for the Red Sox after starter Richard Fitts was removed from his start against the Chicago White Sox on Saturday afternoon. The original plan for Bello was to have one more rehab appe...2432Sun, 13 Apr 2025 17:10:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/yasmani-grandal-agrees-to-minor-league-deal-with-red-sox-r2430/Despite adding three catchers during the offseason, the Red Sox entered the season short on the depth at the position. That problem got worse after the club included top prospect Kyle Teel as the headliner of a trade package to get Garrett Crochet. It took an even bigger hit when Connor Wong fra...2430Sat, 12 Apr 2025 10:58:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/liam-hendriks-begins-rehab-assignment-with-worcester-red-sox-r2426/Thursday night saw Liam Hendriks return for the Worcester Red Sox as they faced off against the Columbus Clippers.

Whether it’s a clutch hit, a defensive stop or even just a walk, a simple thing can have huge ramifications. The flashiest plays don't always lead to wins, and any contribution can be important. This was on display just th...2424Thu, 10 Apr 2025 14:07:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/trevor-story-isnt-passing-the-eye-test-r2425/Trevor Story is looking to make an impact for the Boston Red Sox while staying healthy in 2025. So far, Story is slashing .273/.304/.432. That’s a respectable line for a shortstop in his age-32 season. Just looking at the numbers, it would be easy to assume that Story has been a contributing mem...2425Thu, 10 Apr 2025 10:57:01 +0000
