When he stepped to the mound every five days, you knew he was more likely than not to turn in a solid pitching performance. Even as he began to break down toward the end...2204Thu, 19 Dec 2024 11:59:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/the-red-sox-never-seriously-pursued-tyler-oneill-r2203/We spent a lot of time over the past few months wondering whether the Red Sox would bring back Tyler O’Neill after his excellent, injury-shortened 2024 season. O’Neill hit 31 home runs and put up 2.5 WAR in just 113 games, running a 131 wRC+. However, he also struck out a third of the time, and...2203Wed, 18 Dec 2024 13:45:53 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/where-do-the-red-sox-rank-according-to-statcasts-new-basestealing-metric-r2202/On Monday, Major League Baseball released an update at Baseball Savant, the website that houses and breaks down the copious data collected by Statcast. The update broke down baserunning value into two categories: stealing bases and taking extra bases on balls in play.

When they missed out on Max Fried, it stung a bit more because he signed with the Yankees, but the Yankees were always going to do something inane as a reaction to losing Soto to their crosstow...2201Tue, 17 Dec 2024 11:58:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/red-sox-week-in-review-a-look-at-the-al-east-r2200/Well, it turns out that there is still life after Juan Soto. With the superstar finally ending the drama and inking a megadeal with the New York Mets, the hot stove reached a boiling point. While teams across the board had some roster shakeups, the tremors ran deepest in the American League, and...2200Mon, 16 Dec 2024 15:06:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/did-the-red-sox-just-find-their-backup-catcher-in-carlos-narv%C3%A1ez-r2199/On Wednesday, just moments before the Rule 5 Draft was set to start at the Winter Meetings in Dallas, the whispers started. It spread around the room like wildfire, with reporters turning around and whispering to the colleagues behind them, “Crochet to Boston.” It was the story of the day, but t...2199Mon, 16 Dec 2024 11:59:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/jarren-duran-nearly-triples-his-2024-earnings-with-huge-performance-based-pay-day-r2198/In 2024, outfielder Jarren Duran signed a contract that paid him $760,000 for the 2024 season. He again put up huge numbers, made his first All-Star team, was a Silver Slugger finalist, and finished eighth in voting for AL MVP. On Friday, it was announced that the 28-year-old received the sixth-...2198Sat, 14 Dec 2024 05:32:12 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/big-picture-thoughts-on-garrett-crochet-and-what-comes-next-r2195/It’s hard to describe how low the vibes were on Tuesday night. The Red Sox had just watched reported top target Max Fried depart to the hated Yankees, just two days after learning Juan Soto would be joining the New York Mets. Then came a series of reports that sparked widespread panic, the most...2195Sat, 14 Dec 2024 01:40:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/to-trade-or-not-to-trade-masataka-yoshida-r2185/With free agents quickly coming off the board, it looks like the Red Sox' best chance of adding this offseason will come via trade. In order to add via trade though, you have to subtract.
