Campbell will break camp with the Red Sox, which almost certainly means that the second base job, the subject of discussion through...2383Mon, 24 Mar 2025 10:58:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/al-east-preview-2025-tampa-bay-rays-r2380/The Tampa Bay Rays had a tough offseason, though it was more due to Hurricane Milton destroying Tropicana Field. As the Trop is under construction to be playable in 2026, the Rays will instead play at the New York Yankees’ spring training park (George M. Steinbrenner Field) un 2025. The Rays loo...2380Sun, 23 Mar 2025 10:54:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/out-of-the-park-baseball-26-on-the-2025-red-sox-r2377/If you are a longtime Out of the Park Baseball franchise player, you have seen many Red Sox-affiliated names grace the loading screen. While the game is loading, various baseball quotes flash in the loading bar. Some are funny. Some are fun facts. Some are testimonials. One of those testimonials...2377Sat, 22 Mar 2025 13:10:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/old-friend-alert-the-red-sox-will-face-nathan-eovaldi-on-opening-day-r2375/On Thursday, March 27, former Red Sox pitcher Nathan Eovaldi will face off against his old team as the Opening Day starter for the Texas Rangers. Garrett Crochet will pitch for the Red Sox. I’m not a betting woman by any means, but the Red Sox make solid contact when Eovaldi is on the mound. Eov...2375Sat, 22 Mar 2025 10:58:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/vaughn-grissom-out-marcelo-mayer-in-red-sox-second-base-battle-rages-on-r2374/On Tuesday, Bryan Jaeger wrote up the second base entry in our Red Sox Position Analysis series. Now, just three days later, the state of the position looks much different and with apologies to Bryan, it’s time for an update. It started during Tuesday’s game against the Yankees, when Marcelo May...2374Fri, 21 Mar 2025 10:55:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/boston-red-sox-2025-position-analysis-third-base-r2372/When the Red Sox signed Alex Bregman, the assumption was that he would fill the hole at second base, but in Rafael Devers' absence, he has spent all of his time at third base during spring training. Due to a lingering shoulder issue, Devers is not expected to play any time at the hot corner this...2372Thu, 20 Mar 2025 14:03:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/boston-red-sox-2025-position-analysis-second-base-r2371/When Alex Bregman signed with the Red Sox, he seemed likely to end up as the everyday second baseman. Rafael Devers has been dealing with a lingering shoulder injury but is expected to make his spring debut this week. With his late spring start, he will likely start the season as the designated...2371Wed, 19 Mar 2025 12:31:46 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/vaughn-grissom-needs-a-change-of-scenery-already-r2369/Bleacher Report recently listed Vaughn Grissom as a prime candidate for a change of scenery. Honestly, they probably aren’t wrong. Grissom hasn’t lived up to the hopes the Red Sox front office put in him with they traded Chris Sale for him before the 2024 season. Grissom has looked overmatched a...2369Tue, 18 Mar 2025 14:01:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/boston-red-sox-2025-position-analysis-right-field-r2368/In 2024, right field was a pleasant surprise for the Red Sox, as Wilyer Abreu proved himself to be a more than capable starting outfielder. Entering the season, it was assumed that Abreu would take over the starting right field position following the trade of Alex Verdugo to the New York Yankees...2368Tue, 18 Mar 2025 10:59:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/boston-red-sox-2025-position-analysis-center-field-r2370/Alex Cora told the media early in the offseason that Ceddanne Rafaela would see most of his time at center field. That is a very good thing. It locks up a key position and hopefully brings another Gold Glove to the Boston outfield in 2025. Making sure Rafaela plays his main position will be a ma...2370Mon, 17 Mar 2025 15:01:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/baseballs-effect-on-japan-united-states-relations-r2361/Walt Whitman, the preeminent American poet (and, briefly, baseball beat reporter) wrote, “I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game. It will repair our losses and be a blessing to us.” Whitman’s sentiments ring true - at least for the nineteenth century, when baseball was...2361Mon, 17 Mar 2025 14:03:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/were-not-dreaming-big-enough-on-garrett-crochet-r2365/I was at the Winter Meetings in Dallas when word got out about the trade that brought Garrett Crochet to the Red Sox. I was just sitting down in a giant ballroom to watch the Rule 5 Draft, and the person at the table in front of mine turned to his neighbor and said, “Crochet to the Red Sox.” Eve...2365Mon, 17 Mar 2025 10:59:02 +0000
