The fanbase, ever critical of former general manager Chaim Bloom, was outraged at the unexpected move, sending a productive corner outfielder in Renfroe...2037Wed, 11 Sep 2024 13:33:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/the-boston-red-sox-have-a-very-bright-future-ahead-of-them-r2032/While the Red Sox's last few years have not met expectations, there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel. Many of the next championship core pieces are either already on the major league roster or are right down the road in Triple-A Worcester.  Around the diamond, starting at thi...2032Wed, 11 Sep 2024 10:53:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/it-was-only-one-game-but-r2036/I'm ready to be hurt again. After the Red Sox failed to sweep the bottom-dwelling White Sox at Fenway Park on Sunday afternoon, I threw in the proverbial towel on the 2024 season. I had seen one too many bullpen meltdowns and watched one too many openers. I prayed one too many times for jus...2036Tue, 10 Sep 2024 16:06:32 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/rookie-starter-richard-fitts-isnt-flashy-but-showed-promise-in-his-mlb-debut-r2035/2035Tue, 10 Sep 2024 13:49:37 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/what-went-wrong-with-the-masataka-yoshida-signing-can-craig-breslow-fix-it-r2033/Welp, it’s (almost) over. After a summer filled with hope and surprisingly competent play, the 2024 Red Sox have come crashing back down to earth with a genuinely pitiful second-half performance. As we approach what is almost certainly a third straight season without October baseball, I will att...2033Tue, 10 Sep 2024 10:52:42 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/red-sox-week-in-review-throwing-fitts-r2030/Weekly Snapshot: Mon 9/2 through Sun 9/8, Run Differential Last Week: -14 (Overall: -6) Standing: Third place in AL East (10.0 GB) Game 138 | BOS 1, NYM 4: Bello labors through 5 as the bats stay ice cold Game 139 | NYM 2, NYM 7: The Sox keep it close before an uncharacteristic...2030Mon, 09 Sep 2024 13:45:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/rafael-devers-doesnt-have-to-be-vocal-to-be-a-team-leader-r2028/Ever since the reports came out Tuesday night that Rafael Devers spent 40 minutes sitting and staring at his locker, still in uniform, bat in hand, there’s been a conversation surrounding his role as the team's "leader" on and off the field. People are demanding that he be held accountable for n...2028Mon, 09 Sep 2024 10:54:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/former-red-sox-top-prospect-bobby-dalbec-designated-for-assignment-r2027/The Red Sox selected Bobby Dalbec in the 4th round of the 2016 MLB draft. He instantly drew attention for his impressive minor league play, batting .386 for the Lowell Spinners in 2016. From there, he’d continue to show an impressive ability to hit for power in the minor leagues. Dalbec was wide...2027Sun, 08 Sep 2024 16:04:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/is-red-sox-pitching-coach-andrew-bailey-the-right-man-for-the-job-r2024/The hiring of Andrew Bailey helped signal a change of guard with Red Sox pitching. Dave Bush was okay at best, and when looking at the successful pitchers that he could get nothing out of (I’m looking at you, Ryan Brasier) it was obvious that there was a disconnect somewhere in the pitcher's mee...2024Fri, 06 Sep 2024 14:19:42 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/how-bad-is-too-bad-at-defense-r2063/As the 2024 season winds down, there's a common refrain on national broadcasts, visiting broadcasts, and even NESN's broadcasts: the Red Sox have not been a good defensive team this season. With Boston's playoff hopes still (barely) alive in the last week of the season, it makes you wonder: How...2063Fri, 06 Sep 2024 10:50:00 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/is-jarren-duran-the-red-soxs-newest-superstar-r2019/Before the 2024 MLB season, Jarren Duran, the Red Sox's speedster centerfielder from California, showed glimpses of his potential but hadn’t quite put it all together. This year, though, everything has clicked.  Duran recently made history as the first player to record ten triples, 20 home...2019Fri, 30 Aug 2024 13:15:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/what-will-the-red-sox-do-with-trevor-story-when-he-returns-r2018/There was some excitement when Trevor Story's deal was announced, even though the contract length looked maybe a year or two too long, and there were concerns about Story's numbers outside of Colorado. Writing about those feels like beating a dead horse, though. He’s here, and with how quickly n...2018Thu, 29 Aug 2024 14:13:03 +0000
