Left field was one of the most consistent for the Red Sox last season, as they only used three players: Duran, Rob Refsnyder, and...2366Sun, 16 Mar 2025 10:58:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/boston-red-sox-2025-position-analysis-designated-hitter-r2363/Looking at the designated hitter options for the 2025 Red Sox reminds me of a classic choose-your-own-adventure book. For Masataka Yoshida, turn to page four. For Rafael Devers, turn to page eight. At this point in spring training, there’s not a really clear indicator of which way the coaching s...2363Sat, 15 Mar 2025 10:58:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/with-lucas-giolito-down-red-sox-depth-will-pay-dividends-r2364/They always say you can never have too much pitching, and the Boston Red Sox are proving that true. With news that Lucas Giolito will open the season on the injured list, the Red Sox have now seen three starters shut down this spring. Kutter Crawford went down first, dealing with a knee issue th...2364Fri, 14 Mar 2025 10:50:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/boston-red-sox-2025-position-analysis-first-base-r2360/Triston Casas is primed for a breakout year in 2025 if he can stay healthy. He was robbed of that opportunity last year by the rib cartilage injury that sidelined him for the bulk of the season. The other effect of that injury was to showcase just how thin the Red Sox are at the first base posit...2360Thu, 13 Mar 2025 14:03:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/could-the-red-sox-have-the-best-lineup-in-the-american-league-r2362/On Tuesday, MLB.com’s Anthony Castrovince published an article breaking down what he considered the top 10 lineups in baseball. Rankings like these are a staple of preseason coverage. They’re fun and they give people something to talk – or more accurately, to shout – about. Castrovince is well a...2362Thu, 13 Mar 2025 10:53:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/what-should-the-red-sox-do-if-wilyer-abreu-isnt-ready-r2359/In 2024, Wilyer Abreu was a key piece in the Red Sox roster, providing irreplaceable defense and delivering clutch hits. This year he’s behind schedule and there’s a good chance he might not break camp with the team because of it. Abreu has yet to play a game or do much more than just track pitc...2359Wed, 12 Mar 2025 10:54:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/boston-red-sox-2025-position-analysis-shortstop-r2354/Shortstop has been an issue of concern for the Red Sox since Xander Bogaerts left for San Diego. It hasn't been because of a lack of talent, but rather an inability to stay healthy at the position. This year, the Red Sox hope things will be different with both a healthy Trevor Story and depth in...2354Wed, 12 Mar 2025 10:54:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/the-red-sox-need-to-extend-garrett-crochet-now-r2358/Last week, Garrett Crochet sat down with Alex Speier of the Boston Globe. Naturally, the topic of a contract extension with the Red Sox came up. There has been hope amongst the fan base that the front office would lock Crochet into a long-term extension at some point during 2025, but Crochet has...2358Tue, 11 Mar 2025 15:04:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/boston-red-sox-2025-position-analysis-catcher-r2350/Last year at this time, Kyle Teel looked like the catcher of the future. Likely to make his major league debut some point in 2025, Teel appeared set to take over for Connor Wong as the starter. Fast-forward a year, and Kyle Teel has been traded to the White Sox in the Garrett Crochet deal, and W...2350Tue, 11 Mar 2025 14:07:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/elbow-injuries-make-the-al-east-more-winnable-for-the-red-sox-r2357/Coming into spring training, any reasonable person would have pegged the Red Sox as the American League East team most likely to be victimized by elbow injuries.

I had some thoughts about a certain lefty killer I left off the 26-man roster. Have I come to my senses? Do I actually hate Rob Refsynder? Will I accidentally list Justin Slaten twice?!
