On the surface, this makes perfect sense. Duran was the breakout star of 2024, Anthony is the top prospect in all of baseball, and after storming through the farm syste...2186Wed, 11 Dec 2024 11:53:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/the-red-sox-should-be-worried-about-trevor-story-r2184/We need to talk about Trevor Story. The shortstop has played through three of the six years on his contract with the Red Sox. Over those first three years, he has played in one season’s worth of games, run a wRC+ of 87 (making him 13% worse than the average batter), and posted 3.5 fWAR. Accordin...2184Tue, 10 Dec 2024 11:56:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/what-it-means-that-the-red-sox-tried-to-land-juan-soto-r2183/Welp. In the end, the outcome we had all feared and the one that made the most sense was the one that came to fruition. Juan Soto is going to be a New York Met for the rest of his major league career. He will win MVPs, reach the 500 home run club, and enter Cooperstown wearing the orange an...2183Mon, 09 Dec 2024 16:00:03 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/juan-soto-signed-with-the-mets-whats-next-for-the-red-sox-r2182/And with that, the offseason has officially started for the Boston Red Sox. Juan Soto has decided that he will wear a Mets hat on his Hall of Fame plaque. While the Red Sox were never considered the favorite to land Soto, they were by all accounts a real contender, and missing out on that kind o...2182Mon, 09 Dec 2024 13:36:44 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/tyler-oneill-finds-new-team-signs-3-year-495-million-contract-with-baltimore-orioles-r2181/Jon Heyman was the first to report O’Neill’s contract. The official terms are three years and $49.5 million. The contract also includes an opt-out after the 2025 season. O’Neill’s signing helps the Orioles fill the void not only in their outfield but also in their lineup with the free agen...2181Sun, 08 Dec 2024 13:17:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/red-sox-future-values-big-board-ranking-the-trade-value-of-red-sox-players-5-1-r2180/We’ve arrived at the final installment of the Future Values Big Board. I wanted to make sure to get this posted before the Winter Meetings begin, just in case any big trades are made there. Thanks for following along.

While the seven-time All-Star still possesses a blazing fastball, he also brings more red flags t...2179Sat, 07 Dec 2024 11:58:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/red-sox-increase-their-pursuit-of-juan-soto-ask-for-personal-meeting-with-soto-himself-r2178/The Boston Red Sox appear to be ramping up their pursuit of Juan Soto. The offseason's top free agent appears to be narrowing the teams in consideration, and the Red Sox don’t want to be left off his list. Thursday night, the Boston Globe’s Alex Speier reported that the Red Sox have requested a...2178Fri, 06 Dec 2024 13:00:03 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/why-the-red-sox-should-keep-rafael-devers-at-third-base-r2177/Look, I’ve seen the errors. And even if hadn’t seen them, I could check the advanced stats. According to Statcast’s Fielding Run Values, Rafael Devers graded out as the worst qualified third baseman in baseball this season. And last season. And in 2021. And in 2020. Since his debut in 2017, Def...2177Thu, 05 Dec 2024 14:07:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/why-the-red-sox-should-move-rafael-devers-off-third-base-r2176/In what may be one of the most surprising rumors from the offseason, the Boston Red Sox have been considering moving Rafael Devers off of third base. In his entire professional career, Devers has played a grand total of six innings at a position other than third. Everyone is aware of his shortco...2176Thu, 05 Dec 2024 11:58:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/aroldis-chapman-doesnt-begin-to-solve-red-sox-bullpen-woes-r2175/With the understanding that Kenley Jansen would walk away in free agency after two mostly solid years in Beantown, the Red Sox were in the market for some new blood in the back end of their bullpen. Well, calling him “new blood" may be a bit generous as he heads into his age-37 season, but Arold...2175Wed, 04 Dec 2024 11:55:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/red-sox-sign-reliever-aroldis-chapman-to-one-year-1075-million-deal-r2174/The Boston Red Sox have just made themselves a little bit better and a lot harder to love. This morning, the team signed left-handed relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman to a one-year deal worth $10.75 million, with bonuses that could push it to $11 million. Chapman has long been one of the game’s pre...2174Tue, 03 Dec 2024 18:25:35 +0000
