We're looking for front-page contributors to write Red Sox content for the 2026 season! If you’ve ever wanted an audience for your Red Sox takes, this is the perfect place. While we generally lean into analytics and analysis, we also take a “come as you are” approach to baseball and give writers a lot of leeway to write about the game in a way that interests them. That could manifest in historical pieces, previews, or regular series. It’s a matter of finding your niche in the fandom and carving out a space for it. Right now, our primary need is minor-league coverage and major-league analysis. If this is the kind of baseball talk that interests you, please reach out via email at brock.beauchamp@talksox.com or reply to this article. It is also noteworthy that we pay our content creators. It’s certainly not enough to quit your day job. So don’t do that. However, it might be enough to show that we value your time, talent, and effort. If you know someone who might be interested in creating Red Sox content as a side job, please share this with them! View full rumor

Alex and Maddie dive into some surprising names (Mickey Gasper) that have been tearing it up in Grapefruit League action, and some not so surprising like Jarren Duran and Ceddanne Rafaela. They move on to their WBC predictions and discuss whether strong showings from Duran and Masataka Yoshida make either more tradable as the season gets underway. They both make their fifth starter predictions and give Payton Tolle and Connelly Early their flowers for strong starts to camp, before making strong cases for why the Red Sox shouldn't trade for Issac Paredes now that Caleb Durbin and Marcelo Mayer are settling into positions.

They're very broad. I suspect that will tighten up over time as more countries grow interested. Teams like Great Britain have improved drastically over just a few WBCs.

The WBC is around the corner. Our friends at Fish On First put together this outstanding guide to the Classic. The ultimate fan guide to the World Baseball Classic - Miami Marlins Guides & Resources - Fish On First FISHONFIRST.COM Here is everything you need to know heading into the sixth edition of baseball's biggest international tournament.

I've forgotten to do this, but we should have a game thread up to talk about ST games, one per week.

Welcome to Talk Sox!

What grade do you give the Red Sox this offseason?

Welcome to Talk Sox!

To be fair to Durbin, he's good at bunting for hits. The Brewers sacrificed more than other teams, but it's not a central component to their identity. They'd "sacrifice" more in the sense that they'd try for a hit, with the fallback being a sacrifice if it didn't work.

Here are some helpful pieces from Brewer Fanatic on Durbin: https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/how-can-caleb-durbin-improve-in-2026-r4127/ https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/above-and-beyond-five-brewers-that-greatly-improved-in-2025-r3812/ https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/caleb-durbin-is-an-enigma-r3615/

Welcome to Talk Sox! I don't think Bichette is getting $300m. He's young, which is great, but also *not* a shortstop. I think he's closer to Willy Adames than he is Cory Seager.

Exactly.
