Below are what I feel could be three of the biggest surprises of April. Have your own picks?

We’re going to take a different approach to organizing these. This time, we’ll break players down into these categories,...2466Tue, 29 Apr 2025 10:57:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/has-walker-buehler-turned-the-corner-r2463/There was some concern about Walker Buehler after his first couple of starts to the season. Through both of those starts, he carried an ERA north of eight and only struck out seven batters. Fans were starting to wonder if the Buehler everyone saw close out the World series was an outlier, and if...2463Sun, 27 Apr 2025 17:05:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/the-red-sox-are-contenders-so-lets-look-at-way-too-early-trade-targets-r2460/Although we’re barely a month into the regular MLB season, it’s never too early to start looking at potential trade deadline targets. For this exercise, I’ve split the targets into three sections: big splashes, potential needle-movers, and fringe additions. I also decided to focus on the three o...2460Sat, 26 Apr 2025 10:52:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/alex-bregman-sets-the-offensive-tone-for-the-red-sox-r2461/Since the season began, Alex Bregman has been a man on a mission. We knew that Bregman fit into the lineup well and would offer an offensive spark that had been missing in previous seasons, but we had no idea just how much of an impact he would have so early into his tenure in Boston. Currently,...2461Fri, 25 Apr 2025 19:54:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/the-trevor-story-paradox-hard-hit-hardly-squared-r2459/In the days leading up to this season, few would have guessed Trevor Story would have such a great start.  Through 25 games and 102 plate appearances, he’s slashed .309/.343/.485 with five home runs and 15 RBIs, instantly becoming one of Boston’s most dangerous hitters in the lineup. Yet, d...2459Fri, 25 Apr 2025 10:57:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/a-closer-look-at-kristian-campbells-plate-discipline-r2457/Thus far, Kristian Campbell’s 2025 campaign offers a textbook case in how great plate discipline can accelerate a young hitter’s development.  Through April 23, as recorded by Statcast, Campbell has maintained a remarkably low chase rate (23.7% vs. the 28.5% MLB average) and an above-averag...2457Thu, 24 Apr 2025 10:58:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/brayan-bello-makes-fiery-return-to-fenway-r2455/Brayan Bello returned to the mound for the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday against the Mariners. Things started pretty shaky. Bello gave up a solo home run to Jorge Polanco with one out in the inning. Then he walked Cal Raleigh and hit Randy Arozarena and Luke Raley to load the bases. Things started t...2455Wed, 23 Apr 2025 14:16:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/red-sox-injury-update-multiple-starters-on-road-to-recovery-wong-yoshida-news-r2453/The Red Sox opened the season with a handful of injuries affecting their rotation, as three starters opened the year on the Injured List. Since then, there has been some change as right-hander Brayan Bello is set to be activated for the April 22nd game against the Seattle Mariners and make his d...2453Tue, 22 Apr 2025 18:09:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/brennan-bernardinos-early-success-is-thanks-to-a-single-pitch-r2450/The Boston Red Sox may have helped Brennan Bernardino become a pitcher with a higher ceiling than just a low-leverage reliever. The change in the left-hander has been noticeable through a small sample size to begin the season, but you can’t help but look at his transformation and wonder if this...2450Tue, 22 Apr 2025 12:39:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/the-power-of-scott-boras-team-friendly-extensions-the-changing-dynamics-of-baseball-business-r2438/Over the past two weeks, several teams announced extensions with their young players. Among the six players and teams, Boras advised only one player, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who signed the most expensive extension.

The biggest issue for him, however, may be the strikeouts, as he’s struck out 20 times in 72 at-bats (25.3%). When looking at his injury-filled 2024 season, Casas has seen his strikeout percentage drop from 31.7%....2449Mon, 21 Apr 2025 18:17:01 +0000
