Dalbec's journey with Boston was one of high expectations, impressive power, slumps, and constant adjustments at the plate. As a sop...2122Tue, 05 Nov 2024 11:52:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/how-wilyer-abreu-snagged-a-gold-glove-for-the-red-sox-r2124/Well, every once in a while, justice is served. Wilyer Abreu, the 25- year-old rookie who ran a 114 wRC+ while playing the best right field in baseball, took home the first piece of hardware in his young career in the form of the 2024 American League Gold Glove for right field. Abreu became the...2124Mon, 04 Nov 2024 14:30:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/extending-roman-anthony-should-be-a-priority-for-the-red-sox-this-offseason-r2119/The Boston Red Sox have big plans this offseason and nobody knows exactly what they are. Spending big money or prospect capital on a starting pitcher looks to be a guarantee, as is finding a way to add an impact right-hander to the lineup. Triston Casas also seems to be on the docket this offsea...2119Sun, 03 Nov 2024 11:50:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/betts-verdugo-sharing-the-world-series-stage-serves-as-reminder-to-what-the-red-sox-are-trying-to-build-r2120/There are going to be a lot of lasting memories from the 2024 World Series, not the least of which was Alex Verdugo striking out against Walker Buehler for the final out of the season. Despite that less-than-stellar moment, he and Mookie Betts starred for the teams that battled for five gam...2120Sat, 02 Nov 2024 10:50:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/which-richard-fitts-should-we-expect-next-season-r2118/Yesterday, we named Richard Fitts our ninth-ranked Red Sox prospect and Alex Mayes wrote up the right-hander’s 2024 season. Today, I’d like to accompany that piece with a deeper dive, because Fitts had some of the oddest splits you'll see. The splits weren’t between his stats against righties an...2118Fri, 01 Nov 2024 13:07:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/how-often-does-wilyer-abreu-get-his-uniform-dirty-r2115/The 2024 season didn’t go how the Red Sox wanted it to go, but it still contained plenty of reasons to tune in each night. Personally, I loved watching Wilyer Abreu. In the field, at the plate, and on the basepaths, Abreu is as high-energy, high-effort a player as you’ll ever see. Even when the...2115Wed, 30 Oct 2024 13:08:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/tyler-oneill-wins-mlbpas-al-comeback-player-of-the-year-award-r2113/On Saturday, the Major League Baseball Players Association announced the winners of its 2024 Players Choice Awards Comeback Players of the Year.

First, the team hired Taylor Smith from the Rays to be an assistant general manager. Smith worked for the Rays for seven years, spending the last thr...2110Fri, 25 Oct 2024 10:54:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/who-to-root-for-in-the-2024-world-series-a-comprehensive-analysis-r2107/You should cheer for the Dodgers, duh.

The 27-year-old right-hander, scooped up from the Rangers organization in the Rule 5 Draft last December, threw 55 1/3 big-league innings over 44 appearances. He ran a 2.93 ERA, and as his 2.61 FIP indicates, the underlying numbers...2100Fri, 18 Oct 2024 14:06:01 +0000
