It’s no secret that the starting rotation has grown in numbers and strength thanks to three new faces who will don the home whites in 2025: Garrett Crochet, Patrick Sandoval, and Walker Buehler. All three add depth...2275Sat, 25 Jan 2025 11:53:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/does-dustin-pedroia-have-a-real-chance-to-make-the-hall-of-fame-r2274/Dustin Pedroia received a respectable 11.9% of Hall of Fame votes in his first year on the ballot.

This winter, the team sent top-ranked catching prospect Kyle Teel to the White Sox for brand-new ace Garrett Crochet. The thing is, Wong isn’t some type of wunderkind who was preventing a Teel debut in 2025. Despite a breakout season at the plate, Wong’s o...2273Fri, 24 Jan 2025 11:57:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/red-sox-road-trip-no-5-the-braves-heritage-tour-r2267/Milwaukee Brewers – May 26-28 American Family Field - Capacity 41,900 2024 Attendance: 2,537,202 (Averaged 21,328 - ranked ninth in NL, 16th overall) The Red Sox last traveled to Milwaukee in April 2023, and they came away with a series victory.

Most likely, it will be Houston where he began his career. In his nine seasons in Houston, he racked up 225 saves. There is an argument to be made for a Phillies cap.

That made him 10% better than the average hitter.
