While his final stat line of just a third of an inning pitched isn’t that fascinating, the story behind him making it to the Red Sox is. Burdi, now...2503Sun, 18 May 2025 10:57:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/trevor-story-needs-to-head-to-the-bench-r2502/Since I started writing here at Talk Sox, I think I’ve written more about Trevor Story than any other player on the roster. My first article detailed my desire to see him traded, my second wondered if he could contribute in 2025, and my third stated he wasn’t passing the eye test. That’s a...2502Fri, 16 May 2025 13:04:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/the-red-sox-have-a-strikeout-problem-with-runners-in-scoring-position-r2501/More than 40 games into the season, the Red Sox lead the league in total strikeouts with RISP and are fourth worst in K% with RISP.

He’s managing a team that should have a record well above .500. The team made significant improvements in the offseason by bringing in Garrett Crochet, Walker Buehler, Aroldis Chapman, and...2498Thu, 15 May 2025 22:18:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/jarren-durans-new-batting-stance-is-worrisome-r2499/The Red Sox are over a quarter of the way through the 2025 season, and something seems off. Amidst the never-ending Devers drama, other stories are being swept under the rug. Many fans questioned whether or not Jarren Duran would replicate his breakout 2024 performance. Unfortunately, Duran is o...2499Thu, 15 May 2025 10:50:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/tanner-houck-may-be-pitching-his-way-out-of-the-red-soxs-rotation-r2496/Boston, we have a problem.

Over the last handful of years, he had shown signs of aging and was no longer the lights out closer that so many knew him to be. He’s been in the league for an impressive 16 seasons, and many...2493Tue, 13 May 2025 10:56:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/connor-wong-has-made-great-strides-behind-the-plate-r2489/It was easy to see when the Red Sox traded for Carlos Narvaez that the team was putting a focus on defensive catchers. We all started to wonder what this could mean for Connor Wong in the long run, as defensive ability had never been his strong suit.
