He missed the bulk of spring training with a gastrointestinal illness that cost him 15 pounds before he finally reported to camp. Fans were cautious about...2422Wed, 09 Apr 2025 10:56:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/connor-wong-to-injured-list-with-fractured-finger-r2419/Monday night's gloomy 6-2 loss to the Blue Jays cost the Red Sox much more than a game. On a high first-inning slider from Richard Fitts, outfielder George Springer clipped Wong's glove and fractured his pinky finger. Wong remained in the game to finish the inning but reported swelling and numbn...2419Tue, 08 Apr 2025 10:51:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/red-sox-trade-quinn-priester-to-brewers-for-yophery-rodriguez-and-more-r2418/Quinn Priester is on the move again. The Red Sox traded Nick Yorke to the Pirates for the right-handed starter on July 29. Just eight months later, Hunter Noll reports that Priester is headed to the Brewers in exchange for outfield prospect Yophery Rodriguez, a Competitive Balance Round A draft...2418Mon, 07 Apr 2025 16:19:32 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/kristian-campbell-is-cooking-r2416/The Boston Red Sox have only played 10 games in the 2025 season, and Kristian Campbell is already cooking. According to Elias Sports, Campbell is the first player in Red Sox history to record over 10 hits, more than six extra-base hits, and four walks in his first seven career games. Campbell's...2416Mon, 07 Apr 2025 14:22:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/rafael-devers-is-back-r2415/[Editor's Note: Nick volunteered to write this article before Friday's game, when Rafael Devers went 2-for-3 with two walks. After he wrote the article on Sunday, Devers went 5-for-8 with two doubles, two walks, and a homer. That brought his wRC+ for the season up to 134, the exact mark he hit i...2415Mon, 07 Apr 2025 13:05:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/garrett-crochets-velocity-is-down-but-dont-worry-r2417/Tonight, Garrett Crochet will make his third start in a Red Sox uniform. He was absolutely lights-out during the first two, allowing just two earned runs for a 1.38 ERA and 1.79 FIP. However, if you’re a serious pitching nerd, you might have noticed that he has looked a bit different than he did...2417Mon, 07 Apr 2025 10:50:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/three-things-ive-noticed-about-tanner-houcks-rough-start-r2411/The Red Sox hoped that Tanner Houck would pitch like the guy who earned an All-Star selection in 2024. So far, after only two regular season starts, it has looked like last season may be an outlier. This drastic decline, which started during spring training, got me to wondering what could be goi...2411Fri, 04 Apr 2025 15:38:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/red-sox-beat-os-alex-bregmans-bat-wakes-up-in-time-for-home-opener-r2410/Coming into Thursday’s getaway day game against the Orioles, Alex Bregman was running a .231 batting average and a measly 38 wRC+, meaning he was 62% worse than the average hitter. The $120-million man had yet to notch even one extra-base hit. For all the talk of Bregman’s incredible track recor...2410Fri, 04 Apr 2025 10:51:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/with-kristian-campbell-locked-down-is-second-base-locked-down-too-r2409/On Wednesday, the Red Sox announced that they had locked up second baseman Kristian Campbell to an eight-year extension, securing a core piece of their future through at least his age-30 season. The deal, valued at $60 million, can increase all the way to 10 years and $100 million (plus another...2409Thu, 03 Apr 2025 10:50:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/breaking-kristian-campbell-agrees-to-eight-year-contract-extension-with-red-sox-r2408/The Boston Red Sox continue to lock up their key pieces, agreeing to a contract extension that will keep Kristian Campbell in Boston on Wednesday afternoon, just two days after the team locked down Garrett Crochet to a long-term extension.

I am almost literally Monday-morning quarterbacking here. But it’s not too early to talk about Alex Cora’s use of the bullpen – or rather, his reluctance to use the bullpen. After being picked to win the AL East by many prognosticators, the Red Sox are off to...2402Wed, 02 Apr 2025 13:07:02 +0000
