He hasn't been mentioned in many (if any) trade rumors, and it'd be a miracle to pry him loose from the Cleveland Guardians. But can you blame me for having to dig a little deeper here?

They signed Aroldis Chapman to a team-friendly extension in September and have his set-up man, Garrett Whitlock, locked down through the end of this season with club options for both 2027...2990Thu, 29 Jan 2026 15:26:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/patrick-sandoval-may-be-a-casualty-of-red-soxs-pitching-depth-r2987/The Boston Red Sox's rotation has changed dramatically since the end of the 2024 season. Brayan Bello is the only holdover (though Tanner Houck and Kutter Crawford are still on the roster), with Garrett Crochet and three 2025-26 offseason acquisitions currently penciled into the starting five.

They are rumored to be in discussions with a number of clubs, including the Astros and Craig Breslow’s favorite trade partner, the Cardinals, but as of this writing there is very lit...2988Tue, 27 Jan 2026 12:04:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/fangraphs-loves-the-2026-red-sox-rotation-should-they-r2977/While most of Boston Red Sox Nation frets over the lineup, Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow got to work building a super rotation.  This offseason alone, the third-year executive added right-handers Sonny Gray and Johan Oviedo via trades, later signing left-hander Ranger Suarez to a fiv...2977Mon, 26 Jan 2026 11:55:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/red-sox-roster-battles-who-will-fill-second-third-base-if-no-trade-is-made-r2985/The Boston Red Sox still have a roster addition or two to make before spring training begins. And I don't just mean the bullpen, which does require another leverage arm, particularly from the left-hand side. The area of bigger concern is the infield. After losing out on Alex Bregman, the team ha...2985Sat, 24 Jan 2026 13:07:01 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/nate-eaton-vs-nick-sogard-a-battle-for-the-red-soxs-final-bench-spot-r2982/When it comes to building out a 26-man active roster, typically, the bench takes into account the thought of potential platoons, defensive versatility, pinch running, along with overall experience and track record of a player. The Boston Red Sox have done an excellent job of building a ben...2982Fri, 23 Jan 2026 14:00:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/when-logjams-create-leverage-red-sox-mets-remain-ideal-trade-partners-r2980/The offseason picture became far clearer over the last few weeks, with four of DiamondCentric's top-10 free agents signing. That still leaves room for additions in Boston, specifically regarding the infield. Other than Eugenio Suarez, Bo Bichette was the only truly enticing infield option remain...2980Fri, 23 Jan 2026 11:55:02 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/the-al-east-looks-ripe-for-a-red-sox-takeover-r2976/In a whirlwind 24 hours, the top two free agents of the offseason signed with National League teams. If you missed it, outfielder Kyler Tucker signed a massive contract with the Dodgers, and Bo Bichette followed suit with the Mets in an eerily similar deal to that of what 2025 Alex Bregman got w...2976Thu, 22 Jan 2026 14:00:03 +0000https://talksox.com/news-rumors/boston-red-sox/a-full-breakdown-of-the-red-soxs-2026-international-signing-class-r2981/The international free agent signing period kicked off last week, and the Boston Red Sox have remained busy during the beginning period.

We wear watches on our right wrist and typically have ink/pencil smudges on the outside of our left hand. In baseball, the tell is a bit more obvious — you just need to look at a player’s throwing arm.
