Although the 2024 season almost certainly didn’t go quite as well as you might have hoped, the team is bursting with prospects, young big-league talent, and potential. It’s a time for dreaming big, and those dreams should include offseason spending. The Red S...2094Wed, 16 Oct 2024 10:51:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/end-of-season-red-sox-grades-outfield-r2092/According to FanGraphs, the Red Sox outfield put up 13.1 WAR in 2024, making it the second-best outfield in baseball, behind only the Yankees. The well-rounded Boston outfield ranked third in offensive value and second in defensive value. Here is how I graded each of the outfielders on their 202...2092Tue, 15 Oct 2024 13:08:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/which-free-agents-should-the-red-sox-sign-just-ask-the-green-monster-r2090/I’m going to say something you probably haven’t heard before: The Red Sox could really use a right-handed hitter to balance out their lineup.

However, that means something different in Fenway Park than it does in any other ballpark in baseball, and that’s becaus...2090Mon, 14 Oct 2024 14:35:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/the-red-sox-should-consider-trading-jarren-duran-for-an-ace-r2089/I can hear the pitchforks being sharpened already. It’s fine, everything’s fine. I’ll preface all this by saying I’m a Jarren Duran fan. He’s taken huge steps to become one of the best leadoff hitters in all of baseball in the last year, and according to Alex Cora, he is a clubhouse leader.

One year later, he was scooped up by the Phillies, who had gone nine years without making the playoffs and eight years without a winning record. In 2022, the Phillies made a run to the World Series, coming up short a...2088Sat, 12 Oct 2024 10:57:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/thoughts-about-the-red-sox-stats-survey-r2086/Last week, the great Red Sox Stats conducted its annual offseason survey on Twitter, asking about everything from lineup construction to uniform choices. Over 2,300 diehard fans responded, giving us the best data we'll get on how the fanbase thinks about its team.

This article is the results of voting among the TalkSox.com writers for MVP of...2082Fri, 11 Oct 2024 10:55:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/where-the-red-sox-payroll-stands-right-now-r2085/The Red Sox are going to add during the offseason, likely through both free agency and the trade market. Like just about every team in baseball, they could use some more pitching and a good right-handed hitter. Beyond that, we really don’t know much about the team’s plans. Maybe they expect to s...2085Thu, 10 Oct 2024 10:50:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/red-sox-most-improved-player-2024-r2083/Every year, we go into the baseball season with our hopes high and our predictions abounding. There are players that we count on every year to put up big numbers for their teams. Ohtani, Judge, Mookie, Devers. It’s not a surprise when superstars have superstar seasons.  But part of the magic of...2083Tue, 08 Oct 2024 17:13:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/how-to-turn-a-reliever-into-a-starting-pitcher-inside-baseballs-newest-pitching-trend-r2078/Relievers are us ually perceived as failed starting pitchers.

Typically, Kennedy’s episodes are must-listen as he gives a tiny peek behind the curtains into the organization, and this one was no different.
